Back in the Windows XP days, not geting security updates was a death sentence for a pc. Even on a dialup internet, it only took minutes to get infected.
People used to argue for Windows over Linux because of its reliability, but nowadays it seems like the reverse is true. I can't remember the last time my system broke for a reason that wasn't my fault, whereas Windows is constantly in the news for pushing some dumb bug that should've been caught during testing.
so if one for some reason wanted to install windows 11, how are you even supposed to do it if you cant use any installation media for it? Just buy new pre installed computer every time? microsoft sure has started to dig after reaching the bottom
