    Still on W10 with 7 year old hardware. When it finally croaks, I will not be replacing the OS. MS once said W10 would be their ‘final’ OS and by Jove, I will make it so in my household.

      Are you saying you just won’t compute anymore, or you will attempt to install a legacy OS on hardware decades after it will be obsolete? (Almost certainly won’t work)

        I will be switching to Linux when either this hardware fails or W10 stops getting security updates.

          Gotcha. That is a good plan. I still have a win 10 partition I rarely use but pop os is way more pleasant on a daily basis imo

      🤮 No thanks, just left, sick and tired of having personal information and my content stolen.

      To be fair though, for my ancient 2012 MacBook Pro, Linux Mint has made it actually useable and useful around the house.

        I have a c.2011 MBP… did everything work automagically upon installation? Like WiFi, graphics acceleration, trackpad, sleeping, etc

        I think the original commenter is saying they do not plan to replace it with something running W11.
