This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Using windos is like being in an abusive relationship where your partner goes through your phone all day every day, you pay all the bills, you don't get to have sex or laugh, and you're reminded every day that you're paying too little and that there is so much more you should buy for your partner.
Just install Linux already. Yes, Linux has its problems too, but they are less and easier to fix than this turd
Alternative title: "Follow these 17 convoluted steps to stay in your abusive relationship longer."
And feel like an idiot when Windows 10 support inevitably gets extended in a year anyway.
That workaround for your bi-yearly feature update on an unsupported PC is more complicated than installing Linux.
There, I said the bad word.

I wish Roblox would stop having their fight with Linux and I just convert my kids over.
They absolutely don't need Windows for anything but Roblox at the moment.
Otoh, Roblox is evil and you could just use the switch to Linux to be like, "oh no, I guess we can't have Roblox anymore!"
My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship. I could of course forbid them from playing, impose whatever sanctions, But they have fun doing it and they have a bunch of real life friends that join them.
I respect your approach. I bet you're the kind of parent who apologises to their kids when you make mistakes
My dad refused to tell me what's he apologizing for when apologizing, so his apologies were kinda insincere and a way to show that he can do shit behind my back and then just "apologize" and pretend it's something good.
He was messing in things not his to deal with in the first place. Thinking he's the smart one there. Naturally it generally wasn't so, and then he never answered any questions I'd ask.
Now he's also dead, so I can't even ask him again.
OK. Back to the subject - parents should be honest and consistent, and also always understand that their kids are different people, and no part of them belongs to the parents. And that no, parents don't know better. When the moment comes that a parent's advice is consciously rejected, they should just take it. When they are not let into something, that means it's not their concern, period.
You have to own that shit it's the only way you can expect them to ever own it.
Within reason, I have to hold myself accountable to the same level I expect them to.
It's all a big balancing act. Getting enough discipline in to make them responsible without using so much the lie to you and hide stuff.
I wasn't raised that way, I want to do better by them.
Any democracy can be replaced with a dictatorship with well placed CIA intervention.
It's not like they have a lot of election choices, I've kind of got a one-party system going on. They can vote for me or they can vote for my wife but they're getting the same thing either way.
The problem is, they're eventually going to determine what kind of nursing home I go to. If Roblox buys me chicken pot pie Thursday I'll considerit a win
My man is thinking ahead.
My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship.
Oh, now you've done it, you've pissed off the tankies.
ITT: People who talk about Linux (as if that was the subject) because they just can't accept that some people actually need or want to use Windows and might find articles like this one useful.
If you need Windows, don’t run it on hardware that doesn’t support Windows 11. If you need it, do it the right way, so you can count on it working.
Now, what do you do with your old hardware? There are plenty of good ideas in the comments here.
It's so annoying to see in literally every thread about windows
I mean, the real danger is they shove out an update that straight up breaks on your PC, as in won't boot even in safe mode because it does something with the TPM, and it'll be your own fault for deliberately circumventing the requirements.
Non-geeky people will generally run things until they actually stop working completely. They don't care what OS it runs as long as it runs all their shit.
As of 15 min ago, my dad has decided to install windows 11 on his 12 year old home pc. Oh boy.
