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.

    the time limit should be way longer given how long previous versions of Windows have been supported.

    What version would that be?

    • Windows XP: 2001-10-25 to 2014-04-08, ~12.5 years
    • Windows Vista: 2007-01-30 to 2017-04-11, ~10 years
    • Windows 7: 2009-10-22 to 2020-01-14, ~10 years
    • Windows 8/8.1: 2012-10-26 to 2023-01-10, ~10 years
    • Windows 10: 2015-07-29 to 2025-10-14, ~10 years
