I understand ... I ditched Windows (for the most part) for Macs a few decades ago. And Chromebooks are even easier.

Btw -- just remember that the "cloud" is just another name for somebody else's computer. I'd still make local backups of anything important to you. But I suspect you know that

Cheers!
