I think I'm going to keep Win 10 on my gaming rig after the tear down for this reason. My daughter seems to have her eye on that build and I have a feeling the only reason she wants to rebuild it is because she wants to own it. lol I know she wonders why I have a gaming rig when I'm really not much of a gamer. I explained that after building so many gaming rigs for other people I decided to build one for myself. For some reason she doesn't seem to consider this an adequate reason. :::shrugs::: I mean, I still game (sorta).

Other Info
Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.
