I was moderately annoyed at the amount of stuff I had to either disable or uninstall when I got my Win 11 laptop, including One Drive, and getting rid of the news recommendations etc, but it’s definitely less hassle than installing a new OS.
Installing a new OS is not a hassle at all on this day and age. If you can click buttons with a mouse and read at least at a 6th grade level to follow instructions, you can install an OS.
And can you guarantee all the software and hardware I use for my job will work? Everything runs on Windows, it’s guaranteed to work. I wasn’t happy about all the crap I had to get rid of, but once it’s done it’s done.
No I can’t guarantee it, and neither does Microsoft, Windows, nor any of the software you have ever used, for work or not. Read the TOS. You are given nothing, and all software, no matter how much you pay is “provided as is”. Which means they deny responsibility for bugs or misbehavior of their code. MS corporate contracts don’t sell guarantees, they sell support when something eventually goes wrong. They never promise the software will always 100% work because it opens them to legal liability. OneDrive, to keep the discussion on topic, doesn’t guarantee availability of your files, or their integrity, and even makes you agree to not sue them even if you lose all your data.

There’s “guaranteed to work” in a literal sense, and there’s “guaranteed to work” in the sense that a given outcome is a near certainty.

I realise people on the spectrum take things literally, I shouldn’t be surprised.
You think calling someone autistic is an insult?
No, just saying I should have seen this coming.
You’ve never read any of the licenses for your software, then?
