            Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on October 14th of this year.
        </p>
        <div class="img-container"><img src="/assets/images/webp/end-of-support.webp" alt="A screenshot of Windows Update reporting that Windows 10 has reached end of support"/></div>

            If you see this message in your Windows Update section in the Settings app, this likely affects you.
        </p>
        <p>
            Microsoft is offering free upgrades to Windows 11. <span class="em">But</span> some older hardware doesn't meet the Windows 11 requirements,
            despite being fully capable machines.
        </p>
        <p>
            Don't fret! You can upgrade your computer to a free alternative and we're here to help you do it!
        </p>
        <h2>Why?</h2>
        <p>
            If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out just yet.
            By extending the life of your device, you're not only keeping it out of the landfills but also saving money!
        </p>
        <h2>Don't I need Windows 11?</h2>
        <p>
            Maybe not!
            Many of the apps you use on a daily basis either work on Linux or have an open source equivalent.
            We will help you install an OS that meets your needs and familiarize you with your new operating system.
        </p>
        <h2>What happens if I keep Windows 10?</h2>
        <p>
            Windows 10 is no longer receiving free security updates. Over time, more and more vulnerabilities will be discovered, putting your computer and your data at risk.
            Microsoft has this to say on <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-support-has-ended-on-october-14-2025-2ca8b313-1946-43d3-b55c-2b95b107f281">their own website</a>:
            <blockquote>
                While you could continue to use a PC running Windows 10, without continued software and security updates, your PC will be at a greater risk for viruses and malware.
