​@@briacabzsame here. I was using a decade old Acer (Aspire 4736z) laptop for my university study (and some gaming) and it was doing fine with Windows 7 for many years (even after official support ended) until Microsoft was going hard making it inaccessible AF (telling Devs to end browser support for the OS). After upgrading to Windows 10 my laptop became sluggish AF. So I replaced my SSD and added 2GB more RAM (total 4GB). But it was still slow. So I finally decided to ditch that old machine for a $600 new one (Acer Aspire 5).

And the best part the "new shiny workaround" is not even new because it will be rebranded "system restore" mixed with advanced boot settings that were essentially borked since windows 8 with the introduction of newer versions of Windows Update.

@@Cosmetic_Astro You can reinstall them, or run sfc /scannow to look for corrupt files

@@pschickengaming5k308 why, have you personally used W11, or are you just parroting the W11 hate, I literally use it myself and it works just fine.

It's actually a good practice to reinstall your Windows machine once a year. Since Windows is the most used OS, and thus there is quite much Malware circulating around that could bother your system or compromise your system. Using Linux though, is also a very good practice, since there isnt that much malware because it's not used as much and you have generally much more control over your system. Unfortunately, Linux is not the best option for everyone, especially not for gamers or people that are not as tech savvy. I know that Ubuntu has become very user friendly in recent years, and I use it too on my Laptop for university or Work related stuff, and I am also aware of using virtual Machines for programs that are not supported on Linux, but there are for example still some issues, especially for gamers: valorant for example simply wont Work in vms, Games Work better when being Run natively and the missing Support from Nvidia for Linux (drivers and stuff) is pure insanity. But using Linux is the best way, to make things better and through more people using it, it could eventually get more support from big Tech companies Like Riot Games or Nvidia.

I hate Garuda. It's hyperbloated and I don't see a reason why somebody should use it. I use Fedora on my main and Void Linux on my secondary PC and they all run blazing fast

@@peppefailla1630 it’s linux, you decide what bloat you want to keep. With garuda you get a lot of gaming conveniences from the get go, no need for tinkering stuffs that will end up achieving the same thing you wanted. And thus it works for me

Conversely, my Windows 10 system is stable despite a series of upgrades and in-place "fresh" installs plus partial restores going back to Windows 3.0. Last install from media was going from XP x64 to 7, which had no proper upgrade path. My only current issue is due to overclocking: my AVX multiplier is set too high and, because it _very rarely_ causes problems, I've been too lazy to dial it in. Think I'll work on that today, actually.

I use 10 and haven't reinstalled in many years. When my hard drive showed signs of failing, I bought an SSD, cloned the hard drive, and then replaced it with the SSD. It's been working fine the last couple of years. I don't even reboot the computer more than once every few months. The memory eventually gags if I have a bunch of programs running at the same time, have close to a hundred browser tabs open, play music, and download files simultaneously. Then I have to save everything, close everything, and completely shut down and start back up fresh. 10 just works well for me.

People like to joke about how bad Windows is, but if you've run other OSes you know better. I used to run Ubuntu. About every 6 months it would fill up the hard drive completely with update files and then refuse to do anything until I painstakingly found them all and deleted them.

Seriously, like, what the FUCK? Even in the XP days you didn't need to reinstall every six months...

I never reinstalled mine, because it is a company laptop, for 2 years. It is working very well. It doesn't slow down. I am using Windows 10 pro.

So you do only to doctors who freshly was handed licence, because those will experiance would be improper?

@@kxpes if a doctor does a heart surgery and every 6 months cuts open the patient again to look at the heart for no reason I would be just as concerned

@@flamingkittyumad If cardio surgeon would not have heart surgery in 6 mo. i would also be concerned. Thing about opening patient tho, he would need his signature to perform this operation, and i believe if he would really need to catch practice dead bodies assigned to science should be enough. Here you also had pointed about operation of heart which would also apply as pulling out CPU on pc. Which would also be weird. Reinstaling system should be more leveled with psychology.

And ALWAYS install your driver updates manually. I got lazy last night and decided to try out CCleaner’s driver updater tool. It did 30 of them fine, and the last one TRASHED my machine. The night before my last final exam too, with nothing to take my test on. Had to do a fresh install cause it was so fucked that I couldn’t even get into safe mode.

Haha, they're just great. Funnily enough they basically didn't use their registry for most critical stuff, so most things that were to configure just laid on the drive plain text. The bugs, such as logging in w/o password (not even talking about cracking/resetting it) are hilarious.
