I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?

I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.

    well ltsc will have security patches til 2027 or whatever.

    (also the better alternative is 1000% to switch to linux, not a pc brand that costs 2-3x as much and runs a slightly more pleasant but still ultimately kinda shitty OS)

      Op said they don’t wanna switch to Linux and there’s a bunch of good reasons they might have. I keep a mac for several reasons and one is being able to “be normal” when it’s important.

      If you gotta get away from windows and can’t build your life around what Linux does and doesn’t allow then going the apple route is a viable choice.
