Windows 10

When Windows 10 support runs out, you have 5 options, but only 2 are worth considering
Windows 10 will reach end of support, on October 14, 2025.
Here's what you should do with your Windows 10 PCs, before that day arrives.

Q: How many Microsoft/Apple engineers does it take, to change a lightbulb?
A: None. They redefine broken as the new standard; and they no longer make/support that socket.
You just buy a new house.

Re: Windows 10

I moved to Linux about 6 years ago to keep an older laptop running when the upgrade to Windows 10 made it so slow it was unbearable! haven't looked back. When I need to run a windows application I use WINE and IF I need to my current laptop is dual boot so I can boot into windows if needed, which is about once a year max!
