So if you still want to use Windows 10 after October 2025. You need to pay them $30 to do it. Okay, just update to 11 or use Linux. Where's the problem?
A lot of not-that-old computers don’t meet the system requirements for Windows 11.
And by “not-that-old” I mean serves the limited purpose it was built for 8 years ago and is still working perfectly fine.
Hardware is lasting longer, users are less demanding.
