I would upgrade to windows 11 if it wasn't full of ads, I had two computers accidentally upgrade after mis-clicking an upgrade prompt and the experience was bad enough I reloaded the whole computer.

Not only that, but it doesn't make sense to have a task bar on the bottom of an ultrawide display. I've been putting my taskbar on the left side for over a decade, and now you just can't do that for some reason....

I'm so confused by the ads thing. I don't think I've noticed any since upgrading to Win 11. Are they only on certain editions or something?

check out how many settings you have to search and disable to turn off MOST of the ads in windows. It's completely ridiculous.

they keep moving that shit around, too. seems like i'm always finding some new crevice they've hidden some setting they don't want you to know about.
