Windows 11 from Windows 10 is not installing "a damn patch".

Also Windows 11 is terrible. Along with Edge WebView2, the entirety of the O365 suite now (see Edge WebView2), etc.

An upgrade would be wiping the machine to install Linux or buying a Mac.

Not only that, but hundreds of millions of PCs can't 'just upgrade' because Microsoft has arbitrarily blocked them from doing so without resorting to hacks in order to bypass those blocks.

Edge webview2 is used by some non Microsoft things as well, so I have to unblock it occasionally while it fucks my low bandwidth connection.

And it somehow unblocks itself occasionally, and is the only thing to have ever done that which is wild, but there's probably a simple reason for it that idk. It still doesn't deserve internet privileges 99% of the time.
