So yeah, a complete OS upgrade can be problematic, especially on laptops... but that's not the normal case and the upgrade process got better each new Windows version. The more frequent "normal" updates (Windows security updates, graphic card drivers, Java, Adobe Flash, Steam) run automatically or can be installed with a few mouse clicks.

Ok, now look at everything you just mentioned in the part I bolded. How many of those clicks do you need on a game console? How many drivers or normal updates do you need? If i buy a PS4 today, put it under my bed for the next 4 years. When i plug it in, all I weill need to do is download whatever the latest update is. Just one update and thats it. On a PC, you would be installing over 100 updates. and not even talking about the compulsory ones. f you have ever installed a new OS for a PC you would know what I am talking about. And all this doesn't cover hardware specific updates that in most cases you may have to seek out and install yourself.

If you buy a PC today with a preinstalled Windows, put it under your bed for the next 4 years and then plug it in again, you don't need to install 100 updates. The windows patches will run automatically, no input of you required. Java, Adobe and your browser will open requesters to install the newest versions, just deselect the bloatware and click "OK"... only the newest versions get downloaded and installed, not the steps between old and newest. If you have Nvidia, Geforce Experience will also offer a One-Click-update. Steam will update itself and all its games automatically. That's it.
