Every now and then when I say something that is meant to be sarcastic, I will sometimes add [Sarcasm] [/Sarcasm] tags.

Cause I don't do it very often.  Besides, the times I did it here got lost in the database corruption when we lost more than half of the forums posts.

I was but not at this time. It was more that I didn't have a good laptop (netbook from 2010 would only handle up to Win 7 Basic). I got better from my dad now (really crap but good enough to take with me just to look things up when going to my mom's to work on her computer). It can't handle Win 11 though (only my main PC can and my mom's PC) but for the time being it was useful.

If you have a spare drive around, you could try installing Linux on that.  OR, you could create a virtual machine inside Windows 10 and install it there.  That's giving that your main drive has enough free space for it.  Or just stay on Windows 10 and take stronger security measures.  You have some option here. But honestly.  Just because Windows 10 will be going EOL in a couple of months isn't the end of the road.  The OS will still run just fine.  Most games and software will still be supported for a few more years at least.  Hardware drivers on the other hand, well that's another story.
