I did the same thing with Vizio and it eventually would randomly turn off, or sound wouldn’t work or something, you’d call support and they’d tell you that you have to update it. It doesn’t make any sense, but I did it and it would work find for awhile again. Thr tinfoil hat in me says they do that to get whatever info they have stored on you.
Oh man. I remember that install. I couldn’t believe my mom bought into the hype and bought windows 95. I was playing SkiFree in the future, maaaan.
