| Microsoft just sent me a full screen message that my Windows 10 computer support will end next year and that I will have to move to Windows 11. Unfortunately, my computer will not support Windows 11. So, I'm just out of luck as I can't afford a new computer. Way to go Microsoft. I'm retired and on SS, and don't make enough to afford another computer. Comes with growing old I guess. |

The computer should still work online it just won't receive new security updates it will still connect to the Internet. Might be a good idea to buy an independent antivirus after that date however.

What Jim said.
Basic lap tops are pretty inexpensive now. So if you don't need a lot of processing power or high speed, you can pick them up at a reasonable price.
The last one I bought is a small probably 12 in. basic lap top that I found at Best Buy's open box inventory...full warranty and all install and papers etc. with it.
I think I paid around $120 or maybe less for it.
I don't need a lot of stuff, just basic internet stuff and storing a few pics, so it works fine for me.
Only thing, it doesn't have a CD drive but now a lot of people are using other devices instead of them.
I'm limited too and pretty strapped myself, but I'll go out on a limb and pledge $20 toward your purchasing one of these basic affordable lap tops to keep you going. If a few more people will pledge that, it won't take much doing. |
