    The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don’t meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

        Let’s not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run “the Microsoft” or “the Google”?

      One amongst many fixes is to install Linux and have a great computer

        Yeah, that’s true, but many people will wonder “Can I still be able to access the Microsoft from a Linux?”

          “the Microsoft”

          That’s a great way to show how those people think.

          Having said that; yes. Yes, they can access the Microsoft. Not that you should want that, but you still can.
