Upgrading is always needed in every OS, because with the time are appearing new exploids and other malware which need corresponding paches in the OS, if not these security holes becomes bigger and bigger. There are also new web system which need an update of the OS to not loose compatibilities. These updates anyway are done mostly automaticly- In Windows with an advice that an update is in the queue and it will be installed in the next reboot. Luckyly in last Windows a thing of 3-5 minutes, often less.
Updates are only irrelevant, if you use the OS exclusively local, eg. an old Windows XP in LAN for the intern use in a company with their own soft, an Vintage fan to play some old games in an old PC without internet access, or an automatism in a factory, which also don’t need more than a very basic OS, without any extra features than for what it is made for.
Said complexity. This guide is intended for people who may dare a one-time setup but are otherwise not even upgrading! Dont expect much
