Is it windows 10?
All consumers should be off 10 by now
Windows 10 still works fine and a lot of what 11 disqualified was perfectly capable hardware.
Those people would be in n Linux by now
The EOL hasn’t been a secret
I'm guessing the majority of those people barely know how to work a computer.
For example, I'm either going to need to swap my mother's computer over to something Linux or give her something supported. Not currently sure which but since everything is web based anyways, I think Linux would be ok for her.
If it were up to her, she will use it well out of support before buying a new laptop.
Just set my MIL up on Linux Mint. The two things she uses her computer for are email and web browser, so it doesn't make any difference to her.
Right, but you had to do it for her. Not a huge deal, but still something nonetheless.
A new windows computer I would have had to set up for her as well.
