This is one of the core problems of #digital #sustainability: good performing hardware cannot be used only because software / manufacturers do not support them anymore.
Solutions:
a) use #FreeSoftware e.g. Custom Rom and

I really love the #FSF's idea to call the release of proprietary software under a free license after the end of its support to "#upcycle #software"

And btw, sign the petition to #UpcycleWindows7:
