In my country, Sweden, one would have good chance to win a process in "ARN" if showing that the laptop got unusuable. I tried to contact Microsoft about this severeal years ago, with no answer. Nowadays is it possible to buy Win7 cheap, but during time the laptop got worth so little that one also can buy the same type and age for about the same price.
For about five years not usuable laptop.
Seds is spiders in space, offshoot of oao , any relation?
We could listen to several old profecys about the last days will the earth be completely wired with something evil, like with spider-nets. There is sure a relation and we could all the time now follow the travel to that goal. All profit made by actual sources will not make them happy. (sorry i cant express myself good enough in english)
It's not the first time I hear that Micrsoft spyware are responsible for frying SSDs. I sslo noticed a second thing: whenever someone is running Win10 on a rather aging computer (I'm talking about age, not specs. I've seen one built frome 10+ years old components beating some currently sold at Costco.) the useless apps (sedlauncher, runtimebroker, compattel) seem to run on loop quite a lot more often. I'd like to remind you that Microsoft has priors why it comes to sabotaging user machines in order to force them to get a new one (remember Win 95 updating itself now and then to then refuse to launch with a message saying that this or that component was no longer supported, or MS pressuring gaming studios to add a line to newly released games to run an OS check and refuse to launch unless running Windows 95 even if the game was coded in Dos4WG).
I can absolutely confirm this:
My PC has 4x 3.2GHz (real, not just single core boost!), 2 SSD (one for OS other for often used User data) and a 10TB HDD (for backup and large files (Videos and Pictures). BUT it is close to 11 years old.
There are times when the Ventilators go just wild (Ventilator less Mains units, just CPU and a Backup Ventilator if temperature increases over certain temp) since the CPUs are completely loaded ("nicely" during night when I want to sleep and I can hear it trough 3 Rooms away (doors can`t be closed because of cat). Even when you use it (i.e. with Libre Draw) it goes down to a crawl...
Seriously consider going back to Win 7 before the support ends and run everything from there (but I do like some features on Win 10.... and I know that there will be the day that a number of software simply is no longer supported or the Internet is no longer accessible (at reasonable speed, like my trusty old EeePC... unusable now a days).
I always toyed with Linux, but since I have wife and kids that would not go with it, I probably can kick this idea as well...
