I guess your options are:

  • Do hacky workarounds to install Win11. If you make an install disc with Rufus there's a checkbox to do this automatically. There's no guarantee MS won't bork your install at some point due to this, but so far it's worked well for people.

  • Install Linux.

  • Stay on Win10 and lose software support from MS and your installed programs. This is risky, and the longer you do it the more risky it'll get.

  • Send your PC to the landfill and buy a new one.
