Windows 11 should have been an easy upgrade - Microsoft chose to unleash chaos on us instead

For more than three decades, Microsoft's customers have been able to count on at least 10 years of support for their Windows PCs. That all ended with Windows 11, and the company might never be able to clean up the mess..

I upgraded my two laptops and it was easy as pie. No glitches.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm seriously pissed at Microsoft, so much so that I may leave the Windows platform. I have a 7th generation Intel CPU and it is not compatible with Win11. So far, the options I'm considering: 1) Force an upgrade and live with the possibility of calamity, 2) Move to Apple, 3) Move to iPad, 4) buy a new PC.

I don't know what to do and I think MS should reimburse everyone it's putting out of commission with the new stringent cpu requirement.

The only reason you need to upgrade is to get security updates. Get Avast or one of the other free antivirus, make sure your system is backed up and wing it.
