Non-existent is the best kind of non-intrusion.

...which then allows intrusions to take place because the OS in the end never got patched...

No, I meant non-existant OS. Get rid of the OS altogether.

We're still in the century of the Linux command line, from where I sit.
And probably the millennium of the "Locate 325 text files, which are dispersed all over your system, and change three characters in each, if you want to run this program".

You're doing something wrong if your download is anywhere near even half of that, given that the full ISO fits comfortably on a single-layer DVD-R with room to spare.

Maybe I'm thinking of the VStudio download. I cannot remember now. But I just clicked a button and it said, "This will be 11GB" and I said, "I trust and obey, overlord-master-Microsoft..."

That's still on the high side. According to the MSDN download page, the largest ISO amongst the different editions of VS2015 is under 7.5GB.

Who'd of thought you need to keep your OS and tools updated?

That's nothing. Look here.[^]. At the end of the video you even get to see how to deal with such an invasion.

Got a new ASUS for my daughter. It comes preloaded with win 10 home. Of course - no CD as per buying a laptop with Windows preinstalled.
Change the login password (user account). Wrote it down - confirmed it and all.
Reboot - input same password 6 times - "The password in incorrect. Try again."
Now what?
The verdict is still out on which is preferable:
a) setting up windows 10
or
b) sticking a nail gun to your forehead and letting her rip

Or google for password recovery procedure and W10 ISO image is available on Microsoft site.

I have my list of qualms about Windows 10 too, but I seriously doubt that the problem is Windows 10 in this case.
At the risk of sounding like an apathetic person, I think that you may likely have the same problem with Windows 7 / Linux Mint / Whatever OS needing a password to login.

Hard to do when you can't login, then replace IE's default search engine to Google so you can google, then download Chrome so you can find the address bar, then burn an ISO on a machine that doesn't have a DVD, not to mention one that can write to a DVD.

Burn it to USB, use Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way[^]>

You don't need Chrome nor to change IE/Edge's default search engine to get W10 installation image and it's easy to find address bar. If you don't have DVD drive, you can use USB flash drive.
Having another machine, to prepare for recovery process is expected, but I guess you deserve that when you're careless enough to screw password change process.

Yes, but apart from that, it's a piece of cake.
Me, I'm still waiting for lenovo to send me a boot disc so that I can undo the wreckage that fastboot (which makes winio the Fastest Windows Ever!)(to kill machines stone dead) caused.
