just use linux instead.
why are people allergic to ~~windows~~ linux?
My father in law has Windows 7 machines that he uses for scientific work that he refuses to update. His solution is to prevent them from connecting to the internet. Unfortunately not willing to try modern Linux.
That's a valid use case though. At my work we had machines running XP up until a couple years ago because they were purpose built and weren't connected to the internet. There was no reason to upgrade until the entire tool was upgraded.
My PC isn't Windows 11 ready. That's why I bought a raspberry pi, and am running android now. If I feel like resurrecting the old machine, I'll run LMDE or something.
So far, I haven't detected any negative consequences.
Linux Mint is fire BTW
I'm running it on all my systems except my main rig currently and it's been rock solid
