The chances of the 50 euro laptop getting Windows 10 updates longer than a second hand Samsung phone are slim.

As for "can't be fixed or upgraded", ask any macOS user.

Who in their right mind would put Windows on such a device, though? This is THE hardware generation that Microsoft painted a target on with their planned obsolescence strategy. I don't know if there can be a clearer signalling that it is to be avoided at all costs.

I'm running bleeding edge Linux on computers I bought in 2006.

Meanwhile, the phone I bought a year ago is stuck on a 3 year old non-LTS kernel point release, and it will be forever.
