How about it stops automatically installing updates and rebooting my system without permission?
I need to switch to Linux but that would require me to back up and probably attempt to organize my files.
Unless you have a bunch of pirate software and weird programs, it's mostly your My Documents, Downloads, Photos and Videos folders.
Games through Steam and GOG can be downloaded again
This is exactly where I am. The switch is relatively easy, but there's lots of prep to be done.
