From Windows to Zorin Os (Linux)

 A few months ago, I had challenges with my #windows 10 PC. This was mainly due to the frequent updates that sometimes would stop half way or take long hence delaying most of my work. Another issue was that my older PC became draggy due to the size of OS.  Through research and a recommendation from a friend, I realized I needed a cheaper, lighter and simple OS that would enable me work easily.

Microsoft's new OS is gradually rolling out between now and mid-2022. However if your machine isn't compatible and you still want a windows 11 look and feel, there are few options out there which include; Adopting a linux based distro like Zorin Os which gives a slightly similar interface to windows 11  Getting a windows 11 theme for windows although this would not you a good feel of the Os.
