hey Windows people...

so, I am not a computer guy at all. I think sometimes I need a 13 year old nerd that can retool my computers... What exactly happens when October 25th comes and Windows 10 dies?

Planes fall out of the sky, cats and dogs live together.... You know, just general Armageddon.

A funeral usually 3 to 7 days after death.

Seriously, nothing changes. Win 10 will continue to work just fine and won't just quit. However, support for Win10 stops, meaning no updates including Defender virus updates, possibly leaving your PC vulnerable.

Eventually, some 3rd party programs may no longer work if they force incompatible updates.

Basically, Y2K all over again.

That was a blast! I managed a software production lab with a bunch of old Sun servers linked to aircraft hardware. Such fun times!

Unfortunately my PC does not support the Win11 upgrade. It doesn't support Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 is not installed.

I've seen a few YT that explain how to install, legally, Win11 on non-supported hardware.
