    But if you can’t run Windows 11 then you’re on your own once the support for 10 stops…

      Ok, but if you need to use Windows then people telling you “Just install Linux” isn’t a solution.

        Staying on an old and unsecure OS sure is a solution, but it’s incredibly fucking stupid.

        At least you could install Linux and use an old Windows version inside a VM instead of running a vulnerable system on bare metal. That way you can still use Windows when you need to.

            People with exploits available that are unpatched are waiting for that end of support. It increases the value of their unreleased exploit.
