And from the glowing reviews it’s clear that

  1. W11 doesn’t actually need a new PC to run and the limitations are completely artificial

  2. For many people, a ten years old PC is fast enough (or even faster than a brand new Intel N100 PC that is officially W11 compatible). They won’t even notice that’s something from 2015, as long it has a shiny new case, enough RAM and SSD

  3. Amazon doesn’t care that the PC comes with pirated software, or that someone is scamming their customers, as long they get their 15% cut from marketplace sales (the cost of a genuine license of W11 pro and office exceeds the price of those ewaste specials)

    I’ve been thinking about it, but I probably wouldn’t be able to run my driving sim gear on it. I think I might get a cheap second-hand laptop to play around with it, though.

      Idk about running sims, but I switched over a yearish ago. It was a release of anxiety I didn’t even know I was carrying around with me. Just a break from the relentless capitalization and enshittification that windows jams down your throat at every given moment. It’s so nice having a system that doesn’t spy on me, does what I want when I want it, and never locks me out for any reason. I don’t have to reset the privacy settings after every update. It works faster too. 10/10 recommend.
