And don’t get me started on Windows wanting you to create a Microsoft account to start up a new laptop. Every step of the working day you are sent prompts to create an account. Default document saving location is Microsoft Onedrive, and it seems impossible to change the setting. I’ve paid for the laptop, and your OS license already, why do I need an account? What happened to free software being a hassle while paid software is awesome? I’ve used Windows laptops since the early 2000’s, and it’s getting worse in leaps and bounds.
