    Oh, my Athlon 64 X2 with nForce 4 chipset absolutely loved Windows 7, no unofficial patches even necessary.

    When Microsoft released Windows 10, it gave me the notification that I could upgrade for free, so I figured I’d try it. The stupid update just wasted my time downloading the whole thing before it bothered checking the system requirements, just to tell me my system wasn’t compatible and not supported.

    I had already been using Linux occasionally ever since 2011, but it wasn’t long after Windows telling me my system wasn’t Windows 10 compatible that I made the permanent switch to Linux.

    The only time I run Windows anymore is XP in a virtual machine, mainly for older games and legacy software.
