  • For the ‘average’ user you’re suggesting to be helping none of these are remotely difficult to address…

    “I’m confused about antivirus,” Windows handles it

    “I keep forgetting to check on updates for the program I use so much,” The apps you use will ask to update when you use them

    “I’m unsure if I’m on the correct site to download an exe file from,” The website for the application

    “I keep getting ads in my taskbar,” Disabled in literally 3 seconds at install and never think about it again (yeah it’s dumb it happens at all, fine)

    “I was going to find a different browser to use but my computer dissuaded me from doing so,” getfirefox.com. install & run. Click set default browser when it pops up.

    If you can’t answer a simple one sentence answer to an easy question I don’t think it’s Windows fault. I say this as somehow who has helped tech illiterate people of all sorts on Windows, Linux, and Unix systems over the past 25+ years.
