   Just exercise your wallet Grandad and buy yourself a new computer. You   
   can't take it with you. I thought you hated Microsoft. If nothing else   
   you sure are inconsistent. I could have sworn in one of your latest   
   rants you riled against running programs with administrator  privileges.   
   Well you're going to be shit out of luck doing otherwise with 'old'   
   programs on Windows 11. Quite why you are considering Windows 10 is   
   beyond me as it goes EOL next year and don't get me started on the   
   hardware issues you are going to face. Good luck with the drivers and   
   TPM. Have a little Google on the last one. Don't worry, I'm sure there's   
   workarounds for 80-90% of the issues. How long are you planning on living?
