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.

    You can continue using Windows 10 and receive security updates for another three years when the standard 5+5 year support lifecycle ends, but you’ll have pay up. Prices haven’t been made available yet, though.

    You can also trivially bypass the TPM and processor requirements and upgrade to Windows 11 (but you’ll probably lack proper Windows Hello support if you do). It’s not something end users will be able to pull off by themselves, but if you’re able to install Linux, you’re able to install Windows 11.
