I'm really excited for when the health authority I'm working for that uses win10 needs to frantically switch every machine to win11... Going to be such a relaxing time

You’re using a consumer version of Windows? Businesses can pay for extended support.

Oh true, forgot about that. In that case we won't think about it for a few years I'm sure...

I'd rather pay for security updates than invite more AI and Microsoft sponsored spyware onto my computer...

Win10 LTSC still has quite a few years left.

It’s not available for individual consumers though unless you pirate it, isn’t it? (which makes it perfectly good reason to pirate it)
