Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. 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.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help! Find someone to help you.

      See, that’d make more sense to me. In my mind I was seeing someone just installing Linux and poof, that’s it, you’re on your own.

      I should change my statement then; just installing Linux for someone is a bad idea. Stepping them through the small basics as you go is a good idea.
