Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options: Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate. @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot
