Advice for Samsung laptop or PC owners... "Don't upgrade to Windows 10"

Whoops ...


To be fair to MS, the Broadcom hardware that is incompatible was introduced
before 2010. So...we have a wireless chipset that was at least 6 years old at
the time Win 10 was introduced, which turns out to be incompatible.
It's unfortunate but not particularly unusual that some old hardware doesn't
run on a later OS. This is not a scandal or a major oversight by MS, just "one of those things".


So, obviously it won't run on Linux either. And yet?

If all those amateurs can do it... Not just one or two extremely good ones...
