Years back, when I got my first W7 desktop computer, the dumb thing used to crash at every opportunity.
I could get it back by returning to the original configuration, in the process, losing all the programs I had installed, & reactivating my pet hate of all time-Norton!

The Internet was full of clever ways to get your PC back from a crash, except they required you to have admin privileges, which the "dumbed down" OEM version of W7 did not grant to the "unwashed".
I finally "bit the bullet" paid big bucks for a W7 disk from Dick Smith, & installed it, saying goodbye to the "e-Machines" crap forever, & never looked back!
The PC very seldom crashed, & was recoverable with a minimum of fuss when it did.
Much more recently, my ASUS laptop came with W10
"S" (for
stupid or
shit).
At least, they allowed me to send "S" to Hell where it belongs, with a minimum of fuss.
They did sternly warn me, that if I did that, I could never get it back-------but who would want to!
