[quote=Anonymous]How old is it? You might just need to enable TPM and/or secure boot and/or UEFI boot in the BIOS. The "support" is mostly the lack of security patches, but the result of that is that other software that requires regular updates (e.g. web browsers, Zoom client, etc.) will soon enough stop supporting Windows 10, and may not run on that platform. So, yes, you can continue to run Win10 for a bit with minimal impact (assuming that you aren't a high-value security target or something), but that the platform has been deprecated and other software will eventually fail to support it. There is an option to pay MS for extended support, which costs something like $50/year for the first year, but then goes up significantly if you need it longer than that. This is a valid option and one worth considering if Win11 absolutely will not run on your hardware. It does not solve the above-noted problem with other software dropping support for the platform.[/quote]
