BTW W10 has been replaced by W11. My hardware does not support that AT ALL.

My hardware is breathless.
Another reason is Onenote. I run ON 2003. There is not bridge to migrate to the last version that is cloud only. It' a pity. I have gigs of datas, personal, search studies etc. I want to keep them local.
I have so many Excel macros (2003) that will cause lot of crashes and headhaches. Not sure to make a good purchase with the XL latest version because of compatibility bad surprises.
Win10 seems ok but there is a control to every use. A lot of online declarations to get the full options software.
Some may say I am old school but we are far from the beginnings and the sold dreams with the personal computers. Today's computing is a dystopia.
You are right, the last stab in the back is the module TPM 2.0. I could add a chip in a free slot of my tower but the bios is outdated. It fell from Charybdis to Scylla.
I will try Mint on an old PC. And Calibre forever.
