Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can’t upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    Today I watched a video about some information on Windows 12 hardware support. Video concluded with basically saying that if you own a laptop you will be forced to throw it away and buy another one. It’s sad because it isn’t true.

      Here’s hoping it floods the market with really cheap new and used “old” laptops

        It’s sad that people think they wouldn’t be able to use their laptops. As far as I know nothing in that video is confirmed but it’s still sad that people think their old hardware that works should be replaced just because they can’t run new Windows version.
