Can’t run Windows 11? Don’t want to? There are surprisingly legal options

They’re still supporting regular Win 10 but will start charging $30 a year for patches.

How long do you expect that to last?
Microsoft is in it for the money. I think they’d rather get $30 a year every year than get $30 one time from a PC manufacturer who bundled Windows.
I suppose. We would have to know if it’s worth their while to work on security flaws (which I imagine they will put zero effort into and pretty much just answer to bounty hunter reports) for $30 a year.
But because I know Microsoft and am used to their shenanigans, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that lasting for too long.
