I’m getting in new hardware next month, can I still use windows 10 or will I miss something that will benefit the newer hardware by not using windows 11?
I know it’s nearing EOL soon.
For now yeah, but once Oct 2025 comes around, your options are:
-
Keep running Win10 without security updates. If you’re planning on using the internet still, you’ll need to be increasingly careful as new vulnerabilities come out.
-
Buy (or otherwise acquire) Win10 LTSC. This will keep you safe until 2032 (dependent on which version you get), but when that happens you’ll be right here again.
-
Switch to Win11 and just bare with it. Possibly look up guides to see what you can do about debloating it.
-
Switch to Linux. I’m not an expert on Distros but I hear Mint is good for people coming from Windows.
-
It broke a bunch of shit. I updated and suddenly I started running out of VRAM. Had to restore the previous version to fix it
why are they patching around xmas? wtf is wrong with these people
