Install Linux, problem solved
And instead I simply dropped Windows.
My personal laptop updated itself from 10 to 11, and 11 is infuriating. Never mind the pop ups and ads, the whole thinf just sucks. This was just the extra bit of incentive that I needed to switch back to Linux Mint. Thanks, MS!
Is that legal?
Probably not but they won't get punished. But if they do, the fine will be smaller than profits.
