Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Gather 'round because I have some unfortunate news to share! My trusty Dell OptiPlex 790, which was happily humming along with Windows 10, decided to throw in the towel yesterday. It all started with a blinking yellow power light, and before I knew it, my beloved machine had fried itself like a crispy piece of bacon on a Sunday morning. Now, before you jump to conclusions, let me assure you there was no localized EMP attack involved; it was just my poor Dell OptiPlex that had finally met its maker after months of loyal service.
This was the last of my Windows 10 machines, a relic I had cherished since December 18, 2024, just a week before the joyous festivities of Christmas 2024. I had been on the Windows 10 rollercoaster since 2017, with a brief pit stop back to Windows 7 in February and March of 2018, before I hopped back on the Windows 10 train just in time for April 2018. Ah, the memories! My most famous Windows 10 companion was none other than the HP Compaq 6000 PC, which I proudly owned from 2018 to 2024. It was a glorious era filled with updates, crashes, and the occasional existential crisis brought on by the dreaded blue screen of death. But alas, as of tonight, I have bid farewell to Windows 10 and embraced the shiny new world of Windows 11, courtesy of one of Dell's all-in-one desktop computers. I made the leap to Windows 11 months ahead of the impending doom of Windows 10's tech support expiration in October 2025. So here I am, navigating the brave new world of Windows 11, hoping it doesn't fry itself like my poor OptiPlex
