Hi Leo,
I remember a friend of mine some years back saying how he hated Windows 10 - which he had had use at work for a year, instead of his beloved Windows 7.

I asked what was wrong with it?
He said he couldn't do things on it that he could do with Windows 7.
I asked him to explain, as I couldn't tell much difference between them.
So he did.

To which I replied that all those features he was missing, could be found by right-clicking the little Windows tab on the bottom LHS.

He was surprised no one else in teh office had known that either, but then found he had no problem with using Windows 10.

That said, I'm not fond of Windows 11.

Also, I occasionally watch The Privacy Guy, who keeps pointing out how vulnerable PCs are to being attacked (in sharp contrast to Android phones and other Linux devices) - and that relates to using the latest supported Windows operating systems. I had been using Windows 7 on two little Netbooks when we went on vacation, as they were very handy (I don't like tablets). I had to retire them as it was just too dangerous according to that chap and others.
Cheers,
Renato
