I have refused the upgrade and I'm still on Windows 10 which also sucks by the way. The old 2013 ish operating system, I think windows 7, had a task manager that could actually help manage your computer even if you don't know everything about a computer.
And so much more, everything is going to shit especially in electronics. We seriously need just a complete set of Open Source or otherwise trustworthy alternatives.
Or a way to wipe the programming off of products we buy and install our own programming, but they would make that illegal if that caught on.
Agreed.
I assume you have some good reason for running Win10 on your PC but just in case you do need to hear it, you can try Linux live from a USB drive and see if it works for you.
