I totally agree with you there I got a new laptop not this past christmas but the one before so about 1 1/2 years ago now and I think I might have turned it on about 4 times since I got it. It came loaded with Win 10 and to set things up wanted control panel do you think I could find it easily...not on your life....what a pain in the ass it is. Not to mention all the resources all that extra useless crap uses that could better be spread to stuff that's always used. I haven't even taken the time to load my normal programs on it yet it just sits on a section of my desk and collects dust.....lol
I have 2 Terabyte drive on this system and I am dreading doing the backup of everything I have to before the upgrade. I also have an older internal drive I installed to use for storage. My biggest fear is win 10 not properly recognizing the older drive and not have a backup system Ican use to back up the files on it....I tell ya if there is a way to screw up your computer literacy Bill Gates and Microsoft team will find it and impliment it just to make life miserable for all of us....you watch I'lll finally get around to upgrading which is going to cost a small fortune and I'll have to upgrade again because they'll come out with win 11 or something and screw things up even more then they have already.
