It's free to do, I think at one point it was $30 but now it's free, so long as you're updated to the most recent version. It's worth a shot if it's not in your means yet to switch over to a foss alterative.

They actually did extend XP service life BECAUSE everyone held on for so long. It was one of the only OS versions to go beyond initial EOL timelines. They have already made it pretty easy to extend a year of updates on 10.

Yeah, and people still had to dump XP in the end because no software vendor supports an old version of their software forever. Microsoft isn't going to have a change of heart and un-fuck up Windows 11.

I'm still mad XP died. It was the last good Windows there was.
