  1. Agree with Leo here, way too many conspiracies out there on Windows. I've used most versions of Windows going back to 3.1, That includes 95/98/xp/Vista, some 7/10, and 11. 11 came by default when I had to replace my aging 4th gen i5 box unexpectedly in late 2023 with a 7th gen i5 box with 11 already installed, yes, refurbished. My older 4th gen was the same when I bought that in 2019. 10, 11, mostly the same, some changes like control panel changed in 10 but not enough of a change to make much of a difference in use for me. So what's the gripe? I am now on a home brew box, based on the Core 7 Ultra, Z890 chipset motherboard and DDR5 memory, running Windows 11 Pro. I took my key from my retail copy of 10 and just used it to get 11 so no need to pay for 11 for this build, and yes, it's activated and works fine. Some versions of Windows will readily blue screen as it's an all or nothing proposition, earlier variants were like this, but ever since they made it so you can just shut down an individual program that crashed, and carry on, it's gotten better, along with being capable of multitasking, it's been fine, all of it from a useage standpoint. I, like Leo don't see what the fuss is all about. Is Microsoft ideal? No. It's wanting to snoop, but you CAN turn stuff off if you want/need to, won't affect your ability to use Windows. Why so difficult with making the switch and believing conspiracy theories is beyond me.
