We overestimate what most people do with their computers.

Most people that buy one never touch the re-installation of the OS. I wouldn’t be surprised if I learned 99% of PC users haven’t even done it once.

People buy a PC and use whatever it comes with. They don’t uninstall bloat. They might use a different browser. And then they’ll stick with it until they’re done with it.

It requires knowledge to use different Operating Systems. Most people either don’t have the time or don’t care to learn it. I can’t say I blame them, I never cared to learn about my car. I don’t ever really want to! Yet, I use it every day.

Is reloading PCs really still a thing anymore? I'd been told that it stopped being necessary (unless you fucked something up) somewhere around windows 7.

Not really a thing nowadays, but if you REALLY want to you can just reset it. Takes like 15 minutes
