Turn it on. Do your stuff. Turn it off. That's it.

Sound familiar?

"Restart now to finish updating."

"Sign in with your Microsoft account."

"Your PC doesn't meet requirements for Windows 11."

"Try Microsoft Edge — it's the best browser for Windows!"

"Your virus protection is out of date."

You just wanted to check your email.

It's not you. It's your software.

Your computer is fine. The hardware works. The screen works. The keyboard works.

The problem is what's on the computer. The operating system. The thing that runs everything.

Windows wants your attention. It wants you to sign up. Sign in. Upgrade. Subscribe. Click here. Try this. Buy that.

What if your computer just... didn't do that?

That's why we made BoringOS.

Same computer. Different software. Software that doesn't bother you.

No ads. No popups. No accounts required. No subscriptions. No viruses.

You turn it on. You do your stuff. You turn it off.

Boring? Yes. That's the point.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Web browser

Google, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, your bank — it all works.

Email

Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook — add your account and go.

Documents

Open Word files. Open Excel files. Save them. Send them.

Photos & videos

Your pictures. Your home videos. They just open.

Music

Spotify in the browser. Or your own music files.

Printing

Plug in your printer. It works.

"But what if..."

"What if I lose my files?"

Your files stay your files. Copy them to BoringOS. They work exactly the same.

"What if it's too hard?"

If you can follow three steps, you can do this. We'll walk you through it.

"What if I hate it?"

You can always go back to Windows. But most people don't want to.

"What if something breaks?"

BoringOS is built to not break. And if an update ever causes a problem, you can undo it with one click.

"What's the catch?"

No catch. It's free. No trial. No subscription. Free forever.

Three steps. That's it.

You'll need a USB drive (the kind you probably have in a drawer) and about 15 minutes.
