    No you should install your own OS.

    Even if you’re using windows you should at least be using a cracked version of LTSC so you can stay away from win 11 while still catching sw updates.

        I very seriously doubt most people are physically or mentally incapable of taking an hour or two once to teach themselves how to preform a basic maintenance task on a machine they use daily.
