I've had my laptop since 2015. It originally came with Windows 8, then I upgraded to Windows 10 at the latest I could do so for free.

The problem with Windows is that every other version is bad. Windows XP was good, Windows Vista was bad, Windows 7 was good, Windows 8 was bad, Windows 10 was good. I've heard bad things about Windows 11, so ideally I would wan to wait until Windows 12 anyway.

For my next laptop, maybe I'll get one with Linux.
