BTW,does anyone know what to do about the dangers of buying a new computer with Win 10,and then having the SOB automatically start downloading Win 11 the first time you booted it up?

This happened with this piece of crap laptop I am using now. The only reason I picked this SOB over the others is it was loaded with Win 10,and the damn thing downloaded Win 11 the first time I booted it.

Or maybe partially downloaded Win 11. I seem to have some files missing,and the damn thing just reboots at random several times a day with no warning,and no improvements once it re-boots.

If I wasn't so cheap and afraid of having a new one do the same damn thing,I would have used this one for target practice a long time ago and already bought a new one.

BTW,ONLY computers selling for 500 bucks or less will even be considered.

You'll probably get more responses if you posted the question in the computers subforum: https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/board,143.0.html

I'm not running Win 11 though I have played with it for hours. It's not bad as far as a M$ OS goes. There is a place, I believe in Settings, System/Recovery ~ Restore where you can back out of Win 11 and revert back to Win 10 within 30 days of initial Win 11 upgrade. Once you get Win 10 back on you can turn OFF the Win 11 upgrade in Windows Update ~ Settings/Update.
