or switch to a Linux distro
I switched to Linux Mint a few years back and haven't missed Windows at all. I'll never go back to using Windows as my primary OS. Many people I know have gone from Windows 7 to Linux Mint and find the transition fairly easy, depending of course on what application software you actually need. When I used Windows I was already using Firefox, Thunderbird etc and these come as standard with Linux Mint. Libre Office is fine for working with documents too, so no hardship there either. The Mint menu system is similar to Windows 7 and quite intuitive and no horrible tiles or mystery navigation problems. It is also free of all the third party unwanted application bloat that tends to come with Windows nowadays, 99% of which is completely irrelevant (or even annoying) to most people.

well said
if the public could have a brief guided experience of Linux and see how functional it is, most would happily switch.
but they don't know or are intimidated
