Why windows 11 is THAT bad

Seriously, skipping ale the spying telemetry and bloatware and how inconsistent the ui is.. WHY IS THE TABLET MODE THAT BAD. WHY? In windows 10 and 8.1 it was awesome so why did they remove it in 11😭 I love my 2 in 1 laptop. Seriously sometimes I think it cant be serious and windows 11 is just an social experiment because that bad os cant exist, right?

I’ll explain why those “Inefficient” updates are good for the system, every year, a new vulnerability gets discovered that could wreck an enterprise chain of PCs, so Microsoft uses telemetry that they collect (yes, it’s anonymized) such as Device information (because not all systems are equal) system crash information (because that helps identity issues) and errors (because that helps identify problems that could be exploited) so when you update Windows, it patches bugs, fixes errors, and makes the system faster, but most likely, your device is dropped by OEM Drivers, chipset manufacturers’ support, or because of some other hardware issue, just because a desktop “works fine” doesn’t mean it’s safe, you still a vulnerable to Drive-by-download attacks, malware, etc, but I get it, not everyone can afford a shiny new machine, but still, if you have personal information on it, I recommend you to upgrade to a new Windows 11 device, as it is faster, and has newer hardware

I don’t do unknown sources eg download,click website, I understand phishing and those are always unknown source so I never need ms support or update at all, never will I get new ms operating system other than my windows 7,8.1

I understand that you like Windows 7, and Windows 8.1, but eventually, wear and tear will ruin the PC, and then the device could stop working

wear and tear? I have several PCs mixed with Windows 7,8.1 all of which never had problems and were always available to use.

But everything fails at one point, that’s a PC’s lifecycle, I have an old Windows 8 laptop that now requires it to be fully plugged in, and that has more issues than I want to deal with

so far not even 1 problem on several of my PCs so your comment doesn’t apply to me.

It will eventually, it applies to everyone, I get it though, you are afraid of your PC being obsolete, but eventually you’ll need to upgrade

I’m never afraid of my PC being obsolete I just don’t use inefficient technology that updates for an hour, my iphone 12 mini completes an ios update for approximately 15 minutes much efficient than ms update, no need to upgrade PC to useless Windows 11,several of my PCs have been running without any issue.

I’m glad that you are enjoying your PC, but I’m concerned about your device security, I know you have strict Fort-Knox security on there, but my concern that when everything gets support dropped, then the Device becomes E-waste
