Windows 10 support ended 10/14/2025 and Windows 11 was made to trash millions of computers, as most users don't need the fancy hardware features Windows 11 demands to install.
Luckily for anyone who just wants email, web browsing, and some word processing, spreadsheets, access apps, and maybe some photo editing, instead of ditching your computer, you can continue using it, or back up your personal files, ditch Windows, and go with one of the many free Linux versions. Pro versions of Windows can have lots of bits of Linux lurking in it anyway, so you can go the whole way and ditch Windows completely.
It's kind of like everyone used to think you had to have a landline, then mobiles came along and had to have a keypad, then iPhones came along...Could phone numbers and Windows be next on the chopping block?
