You folks don't need to go out today and buy a new Windows 11 machine if you are happy with the current Windows 10 feature set.

I have got both my desktop and my laptop on this "Extended Support" 👍

It means I can put off buying a replacement until this time next year, by which time I might be able to get an off-lease machine with Windows 11 🤞

PB have plenty of off lease with 11 on them, alongside all the ones with 10 on them for not much cheaper.

FYI Windows 10 Extended Support now extended to October 12, 2027.

I originally requested this thread be unlocked as I had only read unverified reports of the extension to 2027.

But now I have found mention of it on Microsofts website.
