Files were already backed up at multiple locations. I wasn’t using cmd.exe to transfer files. I was using it to attempt to fix broken WiFi and touchpad drivers.
why would you need to run updates on the old systems at all?

It doesn’t lock you out of your C: drive
Likely users not tech savvy enough to increase their system volume and just want an easy way to blow their ears off with YouTube
Upgraded all my Win 10 machines to Linux so you’re spot on
