    For now yeah, but once Oct 2025 comes around, your options are:

    • Keep running Win10 without security updates. If you’re planning on using the internet still, you’ll need to be increasingly careful as new vulnerabilities come out.

    • Buy (or otherwise acquire) Win10 LTSC. This will keep you safe until 2032 (dependent on which version you get), but when that happens you’ll be right here again.

    • Switch to Win11 and just bare with it. Possibly look up guides to see what you can do about debloating it.

    • Switch to Linux. I’m not an expert on Distros but I hear Mint is good for people coming from Windows.
