My mother-in-law recently asked me for help with fixing her higher-level Asus laptop. It run Windows 7 and had enormous amount of malware. So I've spent a few days (incl. yesterday and today) cleaning it and upgrading to Windows 10. To say it was an awful experience is to say nothing. Rare thing works correctly. I must google each step, tying not to care about the horrific UI which is simply beyond understanding. It's still running anti-virus software trying to get rid of the last trojans, some of which seem not possible to remove. Screen resolution is off and stretched out, 1600x900 not supported, no drivers available. Whole day I keep thinking why people still torture themselves by using Windows. It's very apparent why support cost for Macs is lower than for Windows PC. Sorry for all the rage, but come on, macOS will still be much better OS than Windows even if Apple stops developing it for several years.
Yes, I actually thought to wipe and install Ubuntu since she needs it mostly for browsing, but she wanted to keep the maybe-important files. And it's been a while since I reinstalled Windows from external drive.
There are some drivers for her Asus N73SV, but they don't support 1600x900. I may be looking in a wrong place, but I find it hard to understand why Windows 10 does not support such popular resolution out-of-the-box.
