[GH85Carrera]

I started with DOS 1.1 and I still have a copy on 5.25 inch floppies of Windows 386 (Win 2.0) that came with a Microsoft mouse with a steel roller ball and patent pending.

I am running Win 11 Pro now, and I do any update ASAP. No doubt Windows is annoying on many features. I am the only person to use my computer, so I do NOT want to have to use a password just to use my computer. I also have an older laptop and a really old computer I built for the new Win7. Both are on Win 10 now as they can't run Win 11.

I have software on the old tower that is useful on occasion, and an upgrade would be many thousands of dollars. My main machine has mapping software that requires Win 11 Pro. It uses all 32 processors, and has used up to 220 GIG of the 256 gig RAM memory and both high end video cards.

I will admit I have to search the web for solutions to some Windows issues. The answers are out there. One of the most annoying is keeping the three computers talking and sharing to each other. By default Microsoft seems to think I play games at public places on a laptop where others can us it. I never play video games, and killing them off is a pain. And to keep the three machines sharing drives and files with each other is really very annoying.

I have used a Mac to deal with customer files in the past. It was just a velvet collar and I hated the inability to customize the computer.

I tried Linux Mint for a while, and without a mentor to tell me how to do some tasks, I was lost. It was too frustrating.
