I received my monthly email from my friend that took over most of my residential business. He was advertising the fact that Windows 10 had received its 2 year end of support date. So I checked my PC and it is not new enough to get an upgrade to Windows 11:

So it goes. I built this PC while I still had my company so it is over six years old. Definitely got my money's worth.

My days of involvement with Microsoft are similarly ending as I won't get another PC. The only thing I need an actual Windows PC for is to play a game, Halo, that I've played from one end to the other and back many times. I can let it go. Otherwise I'm a Chrome guy.

I've got two years to decide on a Chrome replacement. Actually I've probably got more as the loss of Windows support is not so much of an issue for me but this PC is just going to up and die one day and I'd rather not scramble when it does.

I've got and will retain two monitors. I've got standards. I could do a laptop or a cone all in one like @susandennis has. I could have three screens then. Not sure and will not rush. Chrome based computers are so cheap by comparison to Windows PC's I've got a lot of leeway.

Two years? Ugh. I'll wait until the last minute.

My backup machine is still running Windows 8.

I elected for Windows 10 with my new PC last year. I'm in no hurry whatsoever to move onto Win11 even though M$ keeps trying to trick me into it.

I love all the comments about not wanting to update/refusing to update. In a month or two the same group of people will be howling about how their computers "suddenly" stopped working, how they "don't know how it happened", and complaining that now they have to take it to Geek Squad/someone Millennial and pay someone to "fix it." It'll be like this HUGE mystery.
