Of course I noticed.

It was right before I installed a new OS.

Yeah, wouldn't installing a new OS be the most common scenario in which one would "turn off [OS] for the last time"?

Leave OP be, they just yeet their machine outta window and buy a new one.

Why do you think MS advises to do that for Win 10?

You make a compelling point.

Not for me. I have no idea when I last shut off an xp machine. My first free computer came with 98se, and my first purchased PC had windows 7 installed. At some point, I shut off an xp machine, either for school or at the library or whatever, and I have no idea when that was.

For me it's playing around with an old machine years later.
