And don’t get me started on Windows wanting you to create a Microsoft account to start up a new laptop. Every step of the working day you are sent prompts to create an account. Default document saving location is Microsoft Onedrive, and it seems impossible to change the setting. I’ve paid for the laptop, and your OS license already, why do I need an account? What happened to free software being a hassle while paid software is awesome? I’ve used Windows laptops since the early 2000’s, and it’s getting worse in leaps and bounds. 

 Consider ditching for Linux. Unless work mates require collaboration on teams or excel etc, adapting to the switch is easy 

 Teams runs in Linux, and the rest of the suite is in the browser these days anyway. The ms suite is no excuse to stick to windows anymore 😉  

 MS is nothing more than a keylogger spyware malware system of control. You shall own nothing and be happy. Flash Ubuntu OS onto it. You're still stuck with the firmware backdoors but it's better than nothing.
