    I ran across this article from CNET cautioning me, "Don't Buy a Refurbished or Used Windows 10 Computer". I have it a quick glance and found that it has no interesting advice for me. Basically, their argument is if it's Windows 10, it probably won't run Windows 11. But, what if I don't want to run Windows 11? Or 10 for that matter. These "old" and unupgradable Windows PCs are perfect for Linux, which somehow does even warrant a mention in the article.

    Don't Buy a Refurbished or Used Windows 10 Computer

    It's a trap! There are some great deals on used and refurbished desktops and laptops that are still running Windows 10. Don't do it.
