My business partner's 16-year-old kid is a hardcore "gamer" who thinks he's smarter than Microsoft.

I set up a PC for him with a legal, licensed copy of Windows 10, and he promptly reset it using a pirate/cracked version of LTSB because he didn't want the "Windows 8 stuff" and he didn't want "Microsoft spying on him"

Within 2 days it was full of viruses and malware. I don't let him plug his computer in to our office network, and I don't let him near any of our office computers.



don't be too hard on him, you can only become competent by starting out incompetent.
