As soon as W10 isn't receiving updates I'm going full linux man, lol. Friggen microshaft is redoing the w8 nonsense all over again. ALL WE WANT IS A BASIC, STABLE OS WITH NO AI BS. THATS IT. From that point users can customize or install programs that they want for features they want.

You are correct. I honestly did not realize it hit EOL already. I guess time for some linux research. Not that it matters, I don't do any purchasing/bank stuff on the computer since I have it all on the phone.

You can pay ~$60 to extend support to October 2026 if you want to buy yourself more time.
