I have learned that I hate Microsoft

I did a reset because of a virus (at least that's what I believe as my C drive would fill up overnight every night and finally they locked me out of being able to delete SSDXflashlog files). The reset cleaned everything out.

So I go through the whole set up like I bought new machine. I didn't see an option to not use a PIN after even it going to sleep. So I look it up how to remove that option. No can do. So I check to see who the admin is — me.

Go back and the remove option is locked.

And pop ups galore. Buy this, buy that, McAffee installed—I don't want that—can't delete from programs. I think after starting out with Win '95 I'm done. Never used a Mac. I have Linux Mint installed on a laptop and I'm not impressed.

So is Mac the solution? Can I have some control for a change? I'm after the ultimate simplicity, the equivalent of a senior flip phone. All I do is watch YT, do emails and come here. Oh, I use Google and Wiki a lot. That's it.
