          There used to be a native tool called Windows Easy Transfer, but it was dropped in Windows 10 in favor of third-party tools like PCmover and transwiz. There is still Microsoft’s USMT, but that’s designed as an enterprise tool and I think it depends on MECM.

          I mean, there’s transfer wiz and profile wiz that’ll do it, but not any builtin tools unfortunately.

        It’s almost like every OS will have issues if you start fucking up core parts of it, who would have guessed?

      What hardcore Linux users don’t seem to really get is this: The vast majority of people who need to use computers simply do not care about anything you just said. They absolutely don’t. They simply want to press a button to boot the device, use the apps they need and maybe even play a game and that’s it. That is what Windows does for them.

      The average user is overwhelmed when the desktop icons have been moved.

      I love Linux and it is on a great way to being used by a wider audience and it’s great it provides the freedom it does. But it still has its quirks that makes it too hard to use for 95% of users.

      Yep I’m well aware. I jumped on the Linux train awhile ago. It’s so freeing.

      I remember when you could uninstall Internet Explorer on your own as a regular ass user. Now? Get rekt idiot you’re stuck with Edge on your system and we’re gonna regularly reset it as your default browser.

        I’ve not had win 10 default to another browser (edge) one single time in the five or so years I have used it.

        I get the windows hate, but I also hate seeing bs about shit that doesn’t happen.

          I had it happen on Windows 11 after the last major feature update. :(

          EDIT: I should mention this is on a laptop that isn’t my main PC.
