When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it?

      Well there are 3 options and they are all bad.

      1. pay to upgrade your PC (or for extended 10 support)
      2. stay on 10 and go without security updates
      3. jump through hoops to update to 11 unsupported

      It’s almost like being on Windows is all bad.

        You think Linux is any better? I have to upgrade my Mint install every two years! And I have to wait for them to get their update tool ready. And then it takes like 15 minutes or so to complete! My time does not grow on trees!

          I know you’re joking around here, but you don’t have to upgrade every two years. You can use an LTS release instead, or, on the opposite of the spectrum, a rolling release.

          Release schedule and duration of support should always be factored into the decision of choosing a distro.
