My elderly parents got the "your computer cannot be upgraded" and my somewhat tech-litterate mom asked me to move them to Linux.

Microsoft should've realised at some point that the only thing most people need today is a computer that can run a web browser and connect to a printer.

My old printer got better support on linux than modern windows. HP has long since took the driver off their website.
