> but the Windows 11 install is getting binned

That makes you the best MS customer: you paid and you are not costing them anything in support.



Based on how aggressive Microsoft is becoming with ads/upsells and data collection I think they'd still call it a loss. Do home users even use Microsoft support?


For now. That all changes when the OP buys another computer.

There are plenty of vendors who will give you a OS less device and even a Linux device.


I self built my desktop as I have for decades, I've always bought MS licenses retail (since I could afford them, not so much as a kid..).

So yeah, they got my money 3 and a bit years ago but that'll be the last money they get from me and obviously no future version of windows will.

I simply no longer trust they are acting in my best interests as a consumer and I was already using Windows 11 as a glorified console OS to open steam.
