I can’t upgrade to Windows 11. I simply can’t justify a major purchase (now a major major purchase) for a new machine for a downgraded OS. My wife would never allow it and I would hate myself for asking. If Microsoft doesn’t relent, I’ll have no other choice. I have to believe there are a great many in my shoes.
There are ways to upgrade to Win11 on unsupported hardware, though also ways to extend security on Win10 for a few more years
Why not? There’s a known way to skip the security thingo that complains and it works on basically anything that runs windows 10
