Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?
If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.
Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!
5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:
- No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
- Enhanced Privacy
- Good For The Planet
- Community & Professional Support
- Better User Control
How is that a solution?
This fixes the “end of support” problem for around 7 more years
No, it only moves the goalpost. Am also unsure LTSC can run anything that Windows can, I’ve seen lots of sofwtare fail only in LTSC, in particular some specific games, or science software with some particular requirements.
And if I switch to Ubuntu, I’ll have to worry about a major version upgrade in April 2029, which is a lot of change for an even less forgiving goalpost… For a lot of people, including unfortunately myself, “just use Linux” isn’t really viable
Because it’s costs money and keeps you with windows. It’s not a good one but it’s a solution to maintain status quo.
Fam, the “status quo” is pirated Windows.
I bought my windows10 license key from eBay for $1. It’s been like 6 years now? In my eyes it’s a legit copy lol
