      And feel like an idiot when Windows 10 support inevitably gets extended in a year anyway.

      Well there are 3 options and they are all bad.

      1. pay to upgrade your PC (or for extended 10 support)
      2. stay on 10 and go without security updates
      3. jump through hoops to update to 11 unsupported

      It’s almost like being on Windows is all bad.

        1. 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.
