Funny when my new MB first started up, it went straight to "you need windows 11" FREE upgrade, etc.....I declined.
Windows 10 Upgrade Guide
- Thread starter OVERKILL
- Start date
Every time there is a Windows 10 update, Microsoft tries to get you to click on the Windows 11 upgrade ... kind of like Amazon trying to get you to sign-up for Prime every time you try to checkout an order, lol.
Along the same lines - I don't want a MS browser regardless of what they call it!
There are still a couple years left, but Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 in October, 2025. Upgrading to 11 means the machine will still get OS security updates.
Windows 10 Home and Pro - Microsoft Lifecycle
Windows 10 Home and Pro follows the Modern Lifecycle Policy.

Every windows thread turns into loading Linux ….
One would almost be tempted to think there's something to the idea!
One of the big pains with Win10 upgrade is Edge (browser) running in the background collecting cookies and opening no matter what. I would like it gone!
I see it also used 4 instances running so if I delete one it reopens right away. I haven't found a way to stop it.
The whole OS really is not all that stable...it freezes, and there seems to be a LOT of 'updates'. I rather have win7.

+1. With all the stuff going on at MS now I really believe there will be a lot more people switching to some version of Linux within the next year. Linux is already over 4% market share as it is. Linux market share is maybe 2% or 3% higher if you factor in the Chromebook/Chrome OS, which runs on Gentoo Linux.One would almost be tempted to think there's something to the idea!

I ended up with Windows 10 when I replaced my Man Cave desktop computer about 3-4 years ago.Originally Posted by redhat
Great info Overkill. The Google-ing of the hardware ID is a great tip for folks with unknown hardware.
I am happy to say that I have had my entire organization on Windows 10 months prior to the EOL.
I am / have been very happy with it. One thing Windows keeps offering me to free upgrade to Windows11.
I tried that once and I was so let down by it I could not wait to do a computer "restore" to get rid of Windows11
and return to my old trusty Windows10.
Some of you may like Windows11 BUT I could not stand how it was so different than Windows10.
I installed this on my Windows 10 and 11 computers makes things easier to navigate. http://www.classicshell.net/
I use this.
