1. Don't buy cases with GLASS panels (I didn't even realize it was
glass, the one I bought for me is plexiglass)

it's not the worst thing ever.

2. F Google keeping your bookmarks in the cloud.  (I've actually had it
lose them all for people a couple times at work too!)  Export them to
back them up.

Export bookmarks to file, save file in many places.

My bookmarks file goes back to at least netscape 3.

3. F Onedrive taking over your filesystem (It's been working pretty well
at work, but it was an unmitigated disaster on my son's personal PC)

Disabled that shit during the first 10 minutes, no fucking thanks.

4. Don't buy a CPU with built in GPU if you can avoid it and you're
planning to use discrete.

Have never bought a built in GPU; always a bad idea unless you are dirt
poor and cannot afford better.    And almost anyone can afford better,
except stupid people and laptop users.

Putting it all together was pretty easy.  I installed windows 11 pro.
Updated all the drivers.

My condolences.   It is such a piece of shit, MS peaked with Win7.
