I updated one computer to Windows 10. It was so far I thought and error
had happened. Everything seemed fine, until one day the monitor
indicated no signal was coming from the computer. Rebooted and the
computer tried to do "updates" which failed (yet every other online
connection of course had no problems) and the thing, despite attempts at
resolving the issue with multi-layered "fixes" suggested by Windows
power users, the upgrade-fail loop kept going. Finally, it seemed to
resolve itself after 6 hard reboots. What is interesting is the idea
that the average user is going to go into edit registries or type-in
ancient DOS-base command-line codes. This is what keeps places like
Geeksquad in business. No wonder people are deserting in droves to go
to Android/Linux devices or Macs.

... and your documented evidence for your last statement is?

Of course, many people do not /need/ a full OS - something like a table
or Chromebook provides them with a Web browser which provides all their
needs, and for photo editors something like Affinity provides all they
need at a low cost.

I have several computers here running Windows-10, all with the latest
updates, and haven't seen any significant issues. Perhaps I should add
that I also have iOS devices, and some 18 Linux PCs. Decide what you
want to do, and then choose the most appropriate platform.
