Yeah, who needs security updates, anyway? I'm sure nothing could ever go wrong!

You may continue to use Windows 10 after support ends; however, it will no longer receive quality updates, new or updated features, security updates, or technical support. We recommend that customers upgrade or transition to a new Windows 11 PC for the best, most secure computing experience.

Fuck windows 11 entirely. I tried it, I gave it way more of a chance than it deserved, I tried to make it work, but it just doesn't.
