Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can’t upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    Us low spec gamers cannot afford losing at least 10 fps in some games, so it seems we’re tied to win 10 for the time being.

      There’s still around two more years of support for Windows 10. By that time, it shouldn’t be too expensive to upgrade some components to some second-hand ones that perform better than your current ones.

      Another option may be to use Windows Server 2022 Eval. You may run in to problems with software refusing to run on a server though. The initial eval lasts 180 days, but you can run a command to extend that 5 times (don’t quote me on the exact number) which will give you an updated system for years to come.
