Fix 8: Switch to ChromeOS

Windows is an old technology. Windows 10 may be relatively new but it is still a very old operating system. It was created in a pre-internet era.

The internet, fast connections speeds, unlimited cloud storage and endless web apps (like Gmail and Google Docs), have made the Windows method of doing things obsolete.

This is why it’s a problem. Uncontrolled third-party software is a problem because it opens the door to malware and viruses. This problem is compounded by Windows’s insecure permission system.

Windows’s management of installed software and hardware is a problem. You can have’registry corruptions’ if your computer suddenly shuts down or uninstalls, updates, or closes an application. Windows PCs are known for slowing down and becoming unstable over time.

Because everything is installed and saved locally it takes a while before you run out disk space. Your disk becomes fragmented which makes everything slower and more unstable.

Most people think that the best way to fix Windows problems is to just get rid of it and switch to an easier, faster, safer, more reliable, cheaper, easier-to-use and more secure operating system.
