Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he’ll win.

    I’m the same, I’ve got a perfectly good desktop machine that isn’t Win11 compatible, as well as a Windows 11 laptop.

    Most of what I do on the desktop is browser based, and I have the laptop in case I brick the desktop, so nothing to lose by trying.

    Ironically, if I’d been able to upgrade to 11, there’s no way I’d bother with any of this.

      You can upgrade to 11, nothibgs stopping you.

      But it is far smarter to quit with the abusive, and spying, environment.

      Linux is easy and works.

      As someone who recently made the switch, DM me if there’s anything I can help with. A lot of the Linux Bros on here will be completely unhelpful out of smug superiority. Also, if you have an HP, you will almost certainly have to do a LOT more work (I had to learn to edit GRUB config files pre-startup). It will be much easier if you don’t have an HP. Anyway, open offer. Also, do Linux Mint.
