What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs - tchncs

Well there are 3 options and they are all bad.

  • pay to upgrade your PC (or for extended 10 support)
  • stay on 10 and go without security updates
  • jump through hoops to update to 11 unsupported
  • It’s almost like being on Windows is all bad.

  • Use another OS (I hear temple OS is even better then 11 these days)
  • I would vote for 2. myself, its not like the security updates have been deal breakers before (nothing is secure anyway).

    You’re about to get ripped to shreds for daring to suggest the odds of anything actually happening to someone on a recently discontinued operating system are not dramatically higher as long as the user has basic use cases and basic tech literacy.
    It does make me wonder if perhaps malicious actors have novel intrusion methods waiting for the deadline because they know those people won’t just get a patch the night the intrusion gets detected.
