With Windows 10's end-of-life less than a year away, up to 240 million PCs could be expedited to landfill. Here are some ideas to delay that end well past 2025.

      Please don’t, unless there is absolutely no other possible option.

        You should use it over Windows 10 at this point. The timer on Windows 10 is ticking.

          I use it at work. It sucks so much worse then 10. I fucking hate that OS so much. It’s worse than 8. Some of the problems I have may be configurable on a personal PC but the fact that these things were decided as the “default” doesn’t give me any confidence in the people making design decisions at Microsoft.

            I think what I hate most is what they’ve done to scroll bars, and the right click menu doesn’t have copy and paste as words any more, and put them on arcane symbols instead.

            It’s just a load of completely pointless changes, to avoid people realising that there really isn’t anything actually new in there.

            Windows 10 is going EOL. You either move to 11 or switch to something else like Linux. There is no other option

              I’m aware and I’m working on a solution for myself. I’m just stating the reasons why there is so much friction. They churned out a turd of an OS and people don’t like it and they don’t give a shit that people don’t like it.

          Too late.

          Have been on the dark side for near 20 years. And I’m not going back.
