Windows is a very ancient technology. Windows 10 is a relatively recent operating system. However, it is still an older operating system that was designed for decades ago (pre-internet).
We now have the internet, fast connection speeds and unlimited web apps (like Gmail Google Docs, Slack and Facebook), so the Windows way of doing business – with locally installed software and local file storage – is completely obsolete.
Why is this a problem? You’re opening up the doors to malware and viruses by installing uncontrolled third party programs. (This problem is made worse by Windows’ unsecure permission system.
Windows has always had problems with how it manages hardware and software. Registry corruptions can occur if your computer crashes unexpectedly or if a program is installed, uninstalled, or updated incorrectly. Windows PCs slow down over time and become unstable.
It doesn’t take much time before you run low on disk space. This can lead to disk fragmentation, which makes everything more slow and unstable.
The easiest way to solve Windows problems for most people is to abandon Windows and switch to a more reliable, secure, simpler to use, and less expensive operating system.
