Sonny, everybody on here was originally afraid to try to move away from MS -- XP was all they had ever known, most all of them.
Still, move they did, some of them, anyway.
Linux Mint Mate was a good home for an XP only person, they could recognize things by where they were located in the menu system as Mint Mate was pretty much an XP clone.
Got to be slightly more complicated for those who were used to anything much past Win 7, but these folks tended to be younger more flexible sorts of guys anyway.
Here is a hard fact -- MS counts on your fear and they hit you with cartloads of FUD all the time to keep you intimidated and afraid.
MS biggest fear is multi OS users, those who KNOW that the sun does not shine out of MS's bum and that indeed that there are many better systems available out there -- for free no less.
Give you a "kinda like" example --- Firefox was our favorite browser for years because it kicked MS Explorer's butt six ways from Sunday. Still does, which is why lots of us still use it.
But, if you do get used to an Android phone, something strange happens ....... you get used to Google. And you realize a lot of MS's paid propaganda points about Evil Google are mostly pure BS. Google is no more evil than Firefox or Safari or Duck Duck Go or any of the rest of the browsers.
Got a hard fact for somebody to deny if they can -- MS Win 10 is the only OS system that sticks REQUIRED ADS (like 2-4 per page) inside your opening page and sticks ads inside your other various pages as space is available to do so.
MS is the only one that HOLDS YOU UP while the ads finish loading so you HAVE to view them, actually slowing you down ongoing in your work accordingly.
In Linux, running Chrome or Firefox as your browser you can light a systems monitor to show you memory and processor loads as you go about doing what you normally do. Right now I am running about 24% usage on my systems memory and only 12%-15% of one of my two processor cores (they swap out every few minutes so as to not get too warm). Everything is running light and fast right now.
Linux is light and FAST --- MS is anything but light and fast.
