that if you have an Apple or Mac or whatever other type of computer besides Windows you don't get hit with damaging updates?

I owned Windows computers from 1995 until 2014 and never had a damaging update. I also never had a problem I couldn't fix. I'm not sure what you mean by your notebook was large and couldn't be fixed. Are you talking about the app/program notepad?

If you don't use many of a computer's features, why not buy an iPad and use it? It's easy to use, doesn't get viruses and is easy to restore if you do mess up.

That's the thing if they didn't force updates on us from Microsoft I would still be on XP. I loved that OS ! but, see , they can't leave well enough alone.

Your not given or a ask U do you want windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 .
They threaten you (force you) to leave 7 and go to 10 or you will no longer get security updates and say if you don't accept , while it's free, Windows 10, later on you will have to pay for it.

Just minutes ago Windows 10 did the same update on this laptop I'm on. Absoutely nothing I could do to stop it. Thankfully, I don't keep pictures and music on this one like I do the desktop. So, far , I haven't detected any difference. I held my breath. So, far, so good.

I don't like feeling I'm being held hostage to the whims of MS. I like control of my own household gadgets. I paid for them not MS and it looks like I'm gonna have to keep paying for their c*appy downloads
until I figure out a way for me to get away from them.

Every sorftware company chooses to eventually not longer support old versions of it's product. That's just the way it is.

Having said that, you couldn't pay me to go back to Windows.
