‘Windows 11 Is a Lost Cause. Truly Destined for the Garbage. Don't Upgrade from 10’ — Rob Braxman Tech

Windows 10 updates end today: 14 October 2025.


Braxman is a Windows developer.


I’ll give a few bullet points:

• Many users (about 40%) can’t update to Windows 11 because their computer doesn’t have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip for AI, which spies on you. To use Braxman’s terminology, your old computer is considered to be junk now, and most people probably have no reason to have a TPM chip.
• Microsoft has exerted dominance over your computer to the point that you question whether it's yours or Microsoft’s. Yes, you, the sucker, will buy a computer that Microsoft pretty much owns.
• You cannot assure your privacy with Windows 11.
• Most people will need a Microsoft ID to tie them to high subscription fee services in the cloud, like OneDrive, Windows Backup, Office 365, etc.
• Even before 11, if you're an advanced user, Windows sometimes just wipes out entire drive partitions that it doesn’t recognize, like a partition for Linux.

Braxman plays a video of Microsoft’s vision for your future and remarks:

Yes, the purpose of this is to immerse yourself in the see-what-you-see technology, for the computer to get to know you intimately, for the computer to be a copy of your brain.


So, the way this is intended to work, the vast majority of you have to be running on a Windows Copilot PC with Windows 11. And if you have this setup, then Windows recall starts recording all your activity by screenshots every few seconds. Then the AI analyzes what's happening on screen and notates it and stores that information on the hard drive, in which case Windows 11 will have a complete history of your life.


Now, of course, philosophically speaking, putting your entire life on a computer changes the way you use a computer. Suddenly, you have to be super interested in cybersecurity because you need to protect your device in ways you didn't have to do before. Makes sense. This information used to be private in your brain. And now it is on your computer, and now you have to lock it up with all the security BS.


Did you need this? If you're like me, where you partition what you do in your life, you don't need to put your entire life on display in social media, just like I don't need my computer to know everything, but they're not making it a choice.


It is a crazy decision, but it comes with all the baggage of requiring BitLocker, Secure Boot, and a TPM. And I'm sure they'll add more in the future because, without all this, someone could hack your computer and read all your data.


Of course, no one tells you that HQ could just ask the AI what it knows about you, and it is able to summarize that for someone without having to do any special decryption.


This is the stupidity of all this. This is the purpose of all this BS. The answer, of course, is just to say, “No, thank you.”

After Windows 10, Braxman says you should go to Linux.
