Can't run Windows 11? Don't want to? There are surprisingly legal options

I thought what the public health sector gonna do if they don't allow W11 in old PCs, and later I remember that in Mexico they use W7 with IE, lol. BTW I think they could use Linux, my mum was a nurse there and she only used OpenOffice and a web browser

Issue with healthcare IT is they cannot just upgrade willy nilly. They have to make sure that whatever computer they're changing isn't responsible for something big and they have to make sure everyone who uses it can use it. You still have some critical system PCs in hospitals that run DOS and sometimes even older.

Too late (for me), but seeing how things are going, Windows 11 will probably be my last Windows that ever deal with. Will be moving to Linux.

Yeah, LTSC IoT 21H2 should last even longer, but I'd still avoid getting attached to any PC that has it installed.
