The alternative is to use an Apple Mac... except for the cost and lack of programs that I want.

You must have missed the headlines around OSX Catalina.

The alternative to a windows 10 PC is a Linux PC, not overpriced Mac

Was there ever a domestic consumer product that requires so much specialist knowledge in order to use as a Windows PC?

My 3 Windows 10 Laptops and 1 Desktop all update as and when without any specialist knowledge or intervention from me.

Never had a problem with any update and certainly haven't found that any 'specialist' knowledge was needed to use W10.
I understand that for some who do unfathomable things with their PC's may encounter problems.....But, otherwise......

I neither know nor care about whats in an update.

I'm in IT and use my laptop / PC all day every day.

W10 was too much for me, but then I am quite thick

How was it too much for you? What did it require you to do that you couldnt and what alternative did you opt for?

Well, it's clear that a lot of users have had trouble with W10 updates. Although mine was a native W10 laptop, it still had problems with updates. As well as that though, it was generally glitchy and sluggish; in fact the old W7 machine it replaced was faster in everyday use. The onbord sound never worked properly and had a mind of its own.

Also I found it nonintuitive to use and struggled to find things that were easy to find in older windows. It was constantly trying harvest personal data to the extent of reversing privacy settings. And then trying to connect up peripherals . .

No it was just a backward step from W7 for me. I think it's significant that those who step up to defend it are usually either IT professionals or amateur enthusiasts. Perhaps they enjoy finding the solutions and get satisfaction from knowing how things work. I'm sure i would too if I knew how to fix such things.

Macbook Air by the way, and very happy with it.

But long enough that you've got time to waste on insider releases?
