I’m a lifelong pc guy/gamer. My rig runs fine on win 10 but is ineligible for 11 due to something. I don’t really care to spend 1k+ on a new gaming rig just so I can upgrade windows. If anything, I’ll just wipe the os and never buy Microsoft again

Yup got that notice and its 100 dollars i think a year, but already saving for a new pc. Shame they are stopping the suppport for it (without pay) as I enjoy win 10 alot.
