Comment on Tech support for mum

foggy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

Just here to brag that when my dad upgraded to windows 11, he was tricked into making a microsoft365 acct which was promptly compromised.

So I walked him through the process of downloading a Linux mint iso, checking the hash in powershell, downloading rufus, prepping install media, and getting him off windows for the remainder of his life.

I had no eyes on the situation. His browser was giving malware results for everything so no downloads could be trusted.

2 years on his only complaint is occasional printer problems.
