I actually had a nightmare last night that my computer updated itself to some horrid version of windows and I spent it all frantically looking for my windows 7 ISO and keygen among old backups to blow it away and start again.

We'll see. I've set the Group policy to limit feature updates to Win 10 22H2. I will be unhappy if they over-ride or reset a GPO.

Until the AI stuff I would have loved to get an upgrade. Now... Not so much. And good thing my computer doesn't qualify due to their arbitrary standards.

Genuine question: why not try Linux? You'll continue to get updates without the nagware. There are very few games I play that cant run on proton at this point.

Multiplayer gaming. I love games like Foxhole and they usually have a bit of trouble on Linux.
