"What we need now is a single, unified guide to Windows 10’s end of
life from Microsoft, providing clarity on the options and the risks,
one that won’t leave users navigating what now appears to be a raft
of contradictory reports."

What. A. Mess.

That's what I say every time I start up that infernal contraption.

I have Win10 and Win11 both installed on an old machine, but these
are not conventional installations.  I have literally ripped the stinking
guts out of both.  There is no telemetry, no updates, no Defender,
etc., etc.  This machine now fully belongs to me and not to Micro$hit.

It takes a lot of time to do that and although I can easily acquire
a more recent Win11 I am reluctant to go through all that hassle
again -- and now they want to shove AI and Recall onto it all.

Fortunately there are guides available on how to kill that
crap.

But I now only rarely use Micro$hit -- but only to accommodate the
idiots that can't do any better -- and never without a respirator
to avoid the stench.

GNU/Linux has already long ago left that stinkin' pile way back
in the dust.

might be what you need certainly not what we need
