Quick note on terminology first: iOS is Apple’s mobile OS (iPhone/iPad). The desktop OS that runs on an iMac is macOS. ’s question about “replacing a PC with iOS” highlights the common mix-up. correctly pointed out hardware matters — moving from Windows to a Mac normally means new hardware. ’s observation that “instant corruption” usually signals an underlying fault is also important.

Before buying new hardware, isolate the cause. Backup everything first (external disk or cloud). Then, on the Windows machine run these repair checks:

sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
chkdsk C: /f /r

Also run a memory test (MemTest86), check the drive’s SMART data (manufacturer tools), scan for malware (Windows Defender or Malwarebytes), and review Event Viewer for repeated errors. If hardware (drive/RAM/PSU) looks flaky, replacing the failing part is often cheaper than a full OS switch.

A few practical trade-offs to weigh (echoing points from and others): macOS + Apple hardware tends to reduce driver/compatibility headaches because Apple controls the whole stack. Windows supports far more hardware and legacy/business apps, and is usually easier to repair or reinstall on existing PCs. Linux remains a strong low-cost, stable option if budget is the constraint, as suggested.

Recommended path: back up, diagnose (SMART, MemTest, Event Viewer), try a repair install. If problems persist and you want Apple’s ecosystem, a Mac is reasonable — but plan for migration (data, apps, and licenses). If budget or specific Windows apps matter, consider repairing or clean-installing Windows or testing a Linux live USB to confirm whether hardware is the real culprit.

So let's get this straight, are you saying you want to replace a Windows 2000 PC/Laptop with an iOS iPhone/iPad?

iOS and OSX only run on Apple hardware. You will have to replace your laptop. Another solution is to install Linux on the laptop if you cannot afford the new hardware gear.

Right Choice, Abners. Mac is better than Windows in many perspective.

The sightless hate and appreciation organised by both ends can often force you away from selecting the cellphone that you really should.
While Information Corp’s Jen Dudley valiantly rebutted visitor blog writer Trevor Long’s content on why he can’t keep his iPhone, we believed we would take the best factors from both, get the essential groups and try to perform out once and for all what is the best choice for you.

Apple ios will always be more stable. The simple reason is that they only need to code the OS for their own proprietary hardware.

Windows tries to support a multiverse of different CPU/MB/Peripheral/HDs/NIC/etc along with all the 3rd party driver/add ins/etc.

They are 2 very different types of tools.

Apple may be more user friendly, especially for the novices. Windows has flexibility and an installed business base behind it.

because windows operating system get corrupt instantly

There seems to be more here than meets the eye. If Windows gets corrupt "instantly", that's suggestive of a deeper problem unrelated to the OS itself.

Well, if windows is compared with iOS then I would definately vote iOS, its way more better than Windows.

Member Avatar for BerryCarol

Compared to Windows, I prefer to using iOS because it's more stable and fluent.
