Remember the ol days when you had to nuke windows every year to keep them running smooth? Man gone are those days. A 7 year old installation, with a million installs and uninstalls, no antivirus ever, been to every filthy corner of the internet. Changed multiple graphics cards. No windows updates enabled for years. Still no issues. It took microshit their whole existence to make a no frills OS.
I'm kind of sorry to see my 7yo win 7 installation go. But i got a new MBO + CPU + RAM, and its time to enter the "current year" with win10. For free of course. Yarrrrrr.
Wish me luck.

When did i say stuff is written in assembler?! All i'm saying is: you cant install apps made for phones on PC and vice versa. Every developer wants that to change.

OK, so you're not a computer guy. That's cool, it's just like when a mechanic starts going on and on in detail and I zone out and nod my head.
So x86 is the format of the instructions, this only really matters if you're writing in assembly. Otherwise the compiler does the translations of the instructions for you. Whether you compile your code for ARM, RISC or x86 is just a check box or argument if your a command line purist.

I know this. But, Arm64 can only run x86-64 apps through an emulator. This robs most of its performance. If it didnt have to do this it would perform much faster. Some new emulators have been demoed by Microsoft that supposedly eliminates most of the performance hit, but the end game is still to not have emulation.
