Windows 10�s grave

I’m no Apple lover, but there’s no denying that macOS is in many ways better-maintained than Windows.

I mean this in a few different ways.

Yes, I know you could technicallyupgrade to Windows 11 without TPM 2.0, but I wouldnt recommend it.

Is that enhanced security good?

Thats a real problem in itself.

But Im not here to rant about e-waste (thoughits really bad).

Time for some defenestration?

I learned a lot about the tech used in hospitals when I was undergoing cancer treatment back in 2021. Spoiler alert: it’s almost all horribly outdated.

Running an out-of-support OS can lead to a variety of issues, not least with security and compatibility.

I have Windows 11 on my laptop, and also the ROG Ally I used for handheld PC gaming.

Even Windows 10 isnt safe from Microsofts meddling.

I don’t hate Windows 11, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

No, I dont care abouthow great Windows 11 supposedly is now.

Let me create a little analogy here.

Imagine if you bought a car.

Its a good car, it runs fine and doesnt give you any major issues.

You dont want the new car, and you might not even be able to afford it anyway.

I just want a straightforward OS that runs smoothly and doesnt become outdated every five years.

Is that really too much to ask, Microsoft?
