If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.
I will pin this post till the end of October, due to the importance of this.
Reinstall your computer with the LoT Enterprise version of Windows 10, you’re good until 2032.
And if you got the extended 1-year security update thing, until 2026. So this whole article and post is moot.
