    You’re right. In fact, I think the easiest OS to install is probably some sort of Linux distro. But most people don’t install their OS. And Windows is shipped built-in on many computers (even though we’re starting to see some Linux options as well).

      I grew up on Windows my entire life, but really only as a user until I got into teenagehood. I still remember when I was 12 and had to reinstall Windows 7, and I was given the option of either x64 or x86. I thought “Oh, my laptop is stupidly old, it’s gotta be the lower number” and it took an embarrassing amount of time to then actually try the x86 option which immediately worked.
