Well there are 3 options and they are all bad.
- pay to upgrade your PC (or for extended 10 support)
- stay on 10 and go without security updates
- jump through hoops to update to 11 unsupported
It’s almost like being on Windows is all bad.
You think Linux is any better? I have to upgrade my Mint install every two years! And I have to wait for them to get their update tool ready. And then it takes like 15 minutes or so to complete! My time does not grow on trees!
- Use another OS (I hear temple OS is even better then 11 these days)
I would vote for 2. myself, its not like the security updates have been deal breakers before (nothing is secure anyway).
You’re about to get ripped to shreds for daring to suggest the odds of anything actually happening to someone on a recently discontinued operating system are not dramatically higher as long as the user has basic use cases and basic tech literacy.
Eh I am used to it. Even when I ask for an example of a end user getting compromised from using out of date software (like a news story, court case, etc.) and they come up empty I am still somehow the “insane” one. You are better to learn to back up things, not get caught in phishing attacks (the most common risk) and watch your accounts then even worrying about security updates.
Worked 15 years in the industry but, hey what do I know… Not like your bank is still using server 2008 and windows 7 or anything…
And feel like an idiot when Windows 10 support inevitably gets extended in a year anyway.
That workaround for your bi-yearly feature update on an unsupported PC is more complicated than installing Linux.
There, I said the bad word.*bites the tongue as hard as possible to not say The Thing*
Install Hackintosh MacOS

Go ahead… you can whisper it to me
Find God and switch to templeos. /s

I started wetting the bed again when I was 11. It continued every few nights until I was 18.
Then it turns out I wasn’t urinating at all. I was just raised in a very controlling home, which meant I had no idea what masturbation was.
It wasn’t until I started having sex that I found out I had been having wet dreams for years, and getting made fun of for it by my dad.
Now my dad is in his 70s, and wonders why nobody will talk to him anymore. Newsflash asshole! You can’t talk to mommy anymore! 103 is a great age to live to, but people aren’t immortal.
Sir this is a Wendy’s
I wish Roblox would stop having their fight with Linux and I just convert my kids over.
They absolutely don’t need Windows for anything but Roblox at the moment.
Otoh, Roblox is evil and you could just use the switch to Linux to be like, “oh no, I guess we can’t have Roblox anymore!”
My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship. I could of course forbid them from playing, impose whatever sanctions, But they have fun doing it and they have a bunch of real life friends that join them.

Oh, now you’ve done it, you’ve pissed off the tankies.
That poor x220 deserves a coreboot and a good OS
Libreboot*
Doesn’t that only work on three IBM laptops from 2014 ?
No, it works on a wide variety of hardware. Which systems are supported by Libreboot?
Most (all?) of these have been discontinued for a decade unfortunately
Yes, modern laptop manufacturers wouldn’t let you control your own device.
So, it’s going to take government to take back ring level -1 ?
