U starkers, hamster.
And we bought new laptops with windows 10 on it off the PC shop, never had problems like you did, NH. I think you were just unlucky or ran into software incompatibility between your old anti virus and new windows. I prefer it to windows 10 to windows 8 anyway.
Software incompatibility between old software and new systems happens sometimes.

Well Kjeldorn, I'm a cat and you know how curious cats are.
*Meows*
Yes, if there's a red shiny button, you can bet I'll push it, yelling, "For Science!"
There are reasons why I opened that book and got direwolves after me.
And shetland ponies are supposed to be gentle and good tempered!
You see my problem with coffee is that the cheap stuff has a sour aftertaste that I don't like, so I can only drink the expensive stuff like those in Starbucks. (yes, I said the bad word, Starbucks)
So I pretty much eschew coffee altogether.

Eh, coffee is my only means of caffeine consumption, so.
Go Cold Turkey! Live your life caffeine free! Oh wait. There's chocooolate.
I mean hey, I drink tea but I don't come here and say I can't live without tea, right?
Edit: But again I do go bad tea is better then plain water...

Windows 10 is A HUGE IMPROVEMENT on 8.
Also I'm always naked so...P.s. I have windows 7 so... Even better still.

Problem is later stuff may not be compatible with old OS.. So eventually you'll need to upgrade. My BF wants to buy me a gaming laptop, but I told him it's a waste of money since I only play slay the spire and hearthstone on my old laptop. Which isn't resource extensive per se.

Plenty have tried. Some may have succeeded. I may be an impostor.

Well I did all that and an still working overtime so yay. All it cost me was sleep. precious precious sleep. Also I've had my lifetime fill of fireworks. My friends mom used to manage a firework store. We once spent 3 hours with 5 people continuously lighting fireworks. I'm pretty well set for life.

If there are infinite universes, then there is one where all coins flips ever have come up 'heads' and scientists cannot explain why.
There has to be a reason however! In that universe all turns are right turns and gambling is very easy to win. Dice games and dice role playing are boringly easy or as well. I wonder if science actually has reasoning behind some impossible universe scenarios. Its probably like a rational infinity where its not a true infinite but just more then we could count. Infinite universe theory can be so fascinating.

You ever know one of those guys who always rolls terribly? Like he seems to be rolling a joke die that is weighted towards 1 instead of 20? Kinda like Wil Wheaton? Yeah, this universe is where all their good luck goes.

If you ever feel worthless, then just imagine how the lifeguards at the Olympic swimming events feel.
You know what would make those events more interesting. If they released live sharks into the pools. So much more entertaining. We could do this for all events. Cheetahs for races just to make them look bad. Bear in something just because I want there to be bears. Although you know we would probably stomp any animal out there at the long distance running ones and the throwing competitions.

Apparently they're out there. Although my Dad had a puzzled once that was the same small picture (I think it was made of 6 or 9 pieces) repeated several dozen times. He never finished it.
Edit: It was similar to this one, but I don't think it was exactly the same.

Lol and yes I do have one of those players. I keep telling him to run a caster so he has less rolling. We played a 3.5 campaign to high epic levels (30 anyways) once he was finally effective because he could add a 1 up to a hit on anything.

Michael Phelps raced a shark. Well, he "raced" a "shark". Ok, he swam while they cgi'd in a shark.
And I once read that the Greeks tried to encourage their athletes to run faster by having wild animals chase them, but I have always suspected that was bullshit.

I feel like speed puzzling should be a thing.

Yeah cgi shark is so not the same thing. If the swimmer isn't somewhat afraid for his life your not doing it right.
