Windows to Chromebook Conversion
My Chromebook outperforms my Windows 10 laptop. Both have similar specs. Is it feasible/practical to make the conversion? I don't think simply changing browsers will accomplish what I want.

I've been using Windows since it came out way, way, way back pre-Win95. My take is that Windows 10 is the best Windows yet and I am not a Microsoft fan and don't use any of their applications except for Windows. Microsoft is migrating from its original PC operating system function to a small part of Microsoft's cloud-based computing world goal. Its reason is simply to stay competitive in the face of Google, etc. If you don't like that, you can always choose another operating system for your PC/laptop.
Since Windows went to the PC/Tablet compromise user interface with Win 8 I have used StartIsBack to get rid of the new user interface. This is simple, easy to do and cheap. I always use a local account and do not use a Microsoft account for user accounts. Other than that, there is very little to do to keep Windows in check contrary to some of the comments on this thread.
As I have mentioned a couple of times before in these threads, I migrated one of my PCs to a Zorin OS Linux based operating system since I didn't need a couple of Windows base apps on it that I use on my other desktop and laptop. It was so easy and functional I may end up doing this for my other Windows systems. I also moved my wife to a Chromebook from a laptop with Windows and it is a much better solution for her.
I don't like Windows for a number of reasons but it is not because Win 10 is a bad platform. It's that my cloud-based PC is Google-based and Windows is becoming increasingly irrelevant to me.
