    I’ll stick with Win10 and third party protection u til my GPU, games or gaming related apps/peripherals stop working. Until then, I see no reason to upgrade, even if they were to pay me to do it.

      At least switch to a Linux build. Hell, install a portable one on a USB stick to see if you like it first. The lack of security updates for W10 means you could very easily end up with a zombie computer on your home network.

      Probably not a good idea once they stop security patches for win10.

      Currently, in my head, moving to win11 (assuming you wont use linux) makes the most sense instead of foregoing security patches (whenever they stop).

        Really? Sorry for my ignorance, but isn’t it possible to keep a secure system with malware software and firewalls? I might have to reconsider and just hate MS for moving that quickly to a halfassed OS :(

          Go to www.massgrave.dev and check the tutorial for upgrading your existing Windows 10 install to Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2019. You’ll have security updates until 2032 I think.

      How do you get third party protection? I’ve no desire to switch either but I don’t want to go without malware protection.
