win10 integration with all your other devices is scary. Bluetooth phone proximity can unlock your account, etc. Luckily, you have a choice. Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, etc) are very good now on modern computers. And Chromebooks/Chromebox computers that are a throwback to the old "terminal/mainframe" days are good for about 90% of what people do on computers nowadays. They are good as no code can be run on them, so exploits are rare and thay are always up to date. Bad thing is they usually have a firmware lifespan of about 5 years (similar to windows), then they are dropped from updates. Im on #3 for my kids due to end of life support.

Agree Steven.
It's getting to the point where after a conversation with a customer about what they normally do on the Internet, we often suggest a NON Windows tablet instead of a desktop or laptop running Windows.

A tablet with at least a USB port or two can do almost everything any tower or laptop can do.
Then when it blows up it can be tossed and replaced instead of having to pay to get it fixed or disinfected.
The cost of about 3 appointments for service from us can buy a brand new device, and we have customers that have been calling us for years over infections.
