    that’s not even a new thing…

    my mother had a windows 7 laptop for work, she upgraded it to windows 10 (microsoft did a similar nagging back then) and not only did it become atrociously slow, a bunch of hardware drivers also stopped working, including pretty important stuff like USB

    unfortunately linux wouldn’t have been an option cause the software she needed was (and still is) windows only

      Windows upgrades sound like a nightmare anyway, no way I’d trust an upgraded installation. Fresh install or nothing.
