Finally a good Windows 11 feature
I’m getting in new hardware next month, can I still use windows 10 or will I miss something that will benefit the newer hardware by not using windows 11?
I know it’s nearing EOL soon.
For now yeah, but once Oct 2025 comes around, your options are:
-
Keep running Win10 without security updates. If you’re planning on using the internet still, you’ll need to be increasingly careful as new vulnerabilities come out.
-
Buy (or otherwise acquire) Win10 LTSC. This will keep you safe until 2032 (dependent on which version you get), but when that happens you’ll be right here again.
-
Switch to Win11 and just bare with it. Possibly look up guides to see what you can do about debloating it.
-
Switch to Linux. I’m not an expert on Distros but I hear Mint is good for people coming from Windows.
As much as I don’t like 11, it is probably better just to keep up with security updates. If you are confident in your ability to avoid malicious software and websites, then I would stick with windows 10 for as long as you can.

Every game that works on steamdeck is working on linux.
The common known issues are all in the past:
Linux in 2024;
- has plenty user friendly distros.
- can find and install software more easily then windows.
- Has officia nvidia support drivers.
- Can run .exe programs using wine/proton/steam.
Dualboot your Machine today!!
R6 siege does not, otherwise many (most even) do. If you do decide to try Linux check https://areweanticheatyet.com/ and https://www.protondb.com/ for your specific games you want to play.
Depends on the hardware. Intel Chips with big.LITTLE design (aka e-cores and p-cores) work better in 11 because its scheduler is built with core configurations in mind (unless a semi-recent update also brought that to 10. My information is not the newest. I replaced 11 with Linux pretty quickly)
It broke a bunch of shit. I updated and suddenly I started running out of VRAM. Had to restore the previous version to fix it
why are they patching around xmas? wtf is wrong with these people
