So it turns out that the used Windows 10 laptop I bought actually has Windows 11 on it, or it somehow automatically updated to Windows 11. Whatever, I'm only using it to compile and debug stuff anyway.
If you sell used computers, please double check the OS installed on the PC.
@xianc78 I am sure you can set up something or other to use it as a remote agent for compilation, WSL might even work for that without too much hassle
Seriously, how can people tolerate this shit? I can't believe how slow modern Windows is. I need to compile the Windows binary later because I can't deal with this bullshit right now.
