I found an interesting video for anyone that might still want to run windows 11, but need a little help with installing it the way they want to.

That is helpful! Thanks Sand! I know that in the fall Win10 will no longer be supported (forget the exact date).

Support for Windows 10 will end in late October of this year. You can purchase extended support if you want to. But the real question is, will it be worth it?

I thought it was free to upgrade to Win 11. Or do you mean Extended Support for using Win 10 after the end of support date? I know both my computer and my mom's tiny computer have been bugging us when we want to upgrade to Windows 11. I have been saying Later.

An update to windows 11 has been on and off the free upgrade list many times now. But even though windows 10 is inching closer and closer to its EOL support which is October 16th, 2025. Microsoft has offered extended security patches for windows 10 past that point for up to 3 additional years. From what I can make out, the first year might cost around $25. then ramps up each additional year.

I wonder if it is because they realize people caught them in a lie when they said Win 10 was the final one and we wouldn't need to worry about things like this anymore?

I believe that most of the users out there are stuck with using "unsupported" hardware and can't afford to upgrade. Or are unwilling to upgrade because what they currently have still works just fine. And there are many that have specialized software that is very difficult to setup or isn't yet supported by or compatible with another OS.
