I f*cking hate windows(love/ hate abusive relationship for sure). All my installs fail or get corrupted. No matter how careful i am.
I keep nothing on the C: drive. All my data on separate drives. I backup my windows drive monthly in fear that my PC might decide to brick itself after a bad update or faulty shutdown.
As I type this,my desktop no longer booting and its been “attempting to repair windows” for 3hrs now. Good thing i made a backup on a separate drive 2 months ago, lol.
Anyone else here instinctively take measures to hedge against windows unreliability??
My data does not even live on the same device as my Windows OS. At least most of it. This makes swapping between PCs and Backups just easier.
I must say WIndows works mostly fine for me. Yes it definitely has some bugs but the last time I had to reinstall my own machine was in the Windows 7 days. Depends also on what hard and software you use though and how well versed with troubleshooting you are.
