You can also use 0patch to continue to get security updates for Windows 10 if you find it's still a good fit.
Just use MAS to activate ESU if you really want to keep Windows 10. It won't last forever, though. No need to go through some third party's update process.
Long term, it's worth switching to Linux, though. Microsoft isn't getting any better as a company, and Windows hasn't been getting any better over time as a product.
Tell me more?
According to their website it's a subscription where you let some random company patch your windows 10 instead of Microsoft
And they’re patching in memory so enjoy giving full system permission to their tool and excluding it from your security products as this thing is architecturally similar to malware.
Ah. Firmly putting that one on the "hell no" pile. Even with a pre-patched bootleg I don't have to pay for the privilege of risking giving up full access to my computer at the very least. Thanks for the info all the same.
