I FUCKING HATE WINDOWS 11

i'm too stupid to change it

I'm too stubborn to change my current Windows 10 laptop into a Windows 11 laptop (software and hardware wise).

The A"I" bullshit currently happening with Windows 11 also recently gave me yet another reason to not "upgrade". It's already bad enough with Windows 10 and I've heard it's even worse on 11.

And as a little side note, I recently got my laptop repaired after a backlight failure earlier this year back in May (after accidentally falling onto the floor by its side). I've since gotten some stupid offers from HP to replace it starting in June of this year (my 4 year warranty recently expired) and I'm like FUCK NO to the prospect of replacing this laptop any time soon, given both my absolute hatred of Windows 11 and concerns that I may not even be able to find any Windows 10 laptops for sale, plus the fact that it cost a few hundred dollars to repair my current laptop which is currently in perfectly working condition.

I mean, I think you could download an old version of Windows and run that instead, but it's complicated and a hassle and I get why you don't want to bother with that shit. I also don't want a Windows 11 laptop, so I hope mine still lasts long. If not, I'll either try to change the operating system or just do everything in a virtual machine.

i think it's time to consider linux guys

I'd consider Linux if it was more compatible with certain applications that I use or am planning on using in the near future (especially older ones that might only run on Windows, for example). Maybe it could work as a dual boot or something.

Also, I've been considering the possibility of virtualboxing Windows 7 (preferably with SP1 or SP2 if possible) on my Windows 10 machine and am trying to figure out which applications would be compatible with that.

You can just use the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 until 2032

My family used to have a Windows 7 laptop, though unfortunately, it had a software ''upgrade'' to Windows 10 in July 2015.

Fast forward to Wednesday, December 7th, 2016, the laptop was heavily malfunctioning by then and was no longer able to get past a weird boot screen at all. Looking back, I'm genuinely convinced that the software ''upgrade'' from 7 to 10 is what killed that computer, as it had started having problems since around the time Windows 10 was first installed onto it.

I wonder if that laptop would've still been working (or at least if it would've for a few more years) if it had just stayed on Windows 7.

willing to bet it would have

from my (admittedly shit) memory literally any version before win10 was a lot less buggy than win10 and onwards
