How do you stop the Windows 11 downgrade. With the intermittent DSL access here, I’m thinking the one Windows 10 machine will end up as a brick.

Last I checked, my 2013 computer was incompatible with it so upgrade to an old motherboard. :)

Windows is a no-go for me since they put updates ahead of actually using the PC.

The forced updates bricked my computer. What’s worse is the new licensing schemes of my engineering software wants money to reset the licenses. Jerks. I would still be on Windows 7 if it wasn’t for the software companies forcing the upgrade. My 7 machines are solid.

There are some 3rd party Task Manager programs. They will probably continue to work.

New Windows versions do keep 3rd party developers busy developing or improving utilities.

Wipe that sucker and make it Linux... Like right now and not screw around with this crap anymore... It is never a brick, this is what Linux is made for.

Linux Mint “Cinnamon” will give you an almost exact Win 7 machine.

Need a hand? I am available. I have helped quite a few from here go Linux. I think most of those are glad they did.
