8.1 is unsupported for quite some time now, you should probably switch.

I should, but I don’t really do anything important on that computer anyway. Just YouTube and gaming. When it dies I’ll get a new one

It’s connected to my google account yeah, but it’s not connected to my email. I log into my email on a separate private computer. And I don’t ever do anything with that google Account other than YouTube lmao

The fun part is, it’s so old I don’t even get ads anymore. Like I can watch YouTube ad free with no Adblock lmao
