Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? - eviltoast

Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

    Using rufus it’s pretty easy to install windows 11 without meeting their bullshit requirements.

    Did that for my work laptop, which is getting old but runs just fine. Including windows 11.

    Plenty of reasons to switch to Linux, but this can be circumvented. And anyone who doesn’t know how to, because it is too complicated shouldn’t really switch to Linux anyway IMO, because they will already run into trouble with finding compatible printers, getting software for proprietary hardware they are using, etc.
