old pc updated?
I have been having trouble with my most up to date PC. Kept getting a bit stuck with new security things. Amazingly it seems to have updated itself on it's own, to a version that I am sure one used to have to pay for.
Maybe MS found itself stuck, having to support the old version without making any money out of it, and not selling any of the new versions, which it is spending money on developing. At some point it had to provide a way forward, and maybe that is what has happened.
I am surprised that I did not notice agreeing to it all, and it looks as if it does not know what to do with many of my independent software.
It seems to use AI quite a bit, with somethings. It might have avoided some upgrades by doing this.
Anyway it will be interesting to see what happens.
