Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them::Windows 10 gets a version of the program that extended updates for Windows 7.

The EOL is 2023, the pro support EOL is 2028.

While I get what you’re saying, everything is echoed pretty easily to windows, apart from the fact that it doesn’t have distros (for the most part.)

And to be clear, Windows 11 can be installed on any device Windows 10 can, just needs a clean install and/or some tweaking.

I've tried installing Windows 11 on my 2020 HP laptop. It does not work, no amount of tinkering will save it.

Easiest and least tinker way is to just use Rufus.

Doesn't work.
Just to be clear, it's not a TPM issue or anything like that. It's pure driver fuckery.
Which might be on HP or Microsoft, idk. But either way, Windows 11 will not work. Windows 11 won't work on the 2018 laptop either, but that's a spec issue.
