>> Microsoft shares part of the blame here for pushing... the major OS version
Microsoft lost every single ounce of credibility with the way they force-loaded Windows 10. Turning off Windows Update isn't enough anymore. The only solution is to dump Windows. Install Linux, or buy Apple hardware. It's unfortunate, but Microsoft will never recoup the trust it lost with the push of Windows 10. Microsoft cannot be trusted.
