With Windows 10's end-of-life less than a year away, up to 240 million PCs could be expedited to landfill. Here are some ideas to delay that end well past 2025.

    Just don’t upgrade?

    I just retired a Windows 7 box this past summer, because it just worked until then.

      But isn’t it unsecure if you connect it to networks or worse, the internet? I would use Windows 7 ONLY in a virtual machine, or alternatively on real machine that is not connected to the internet.

        All I do on my PC is play games and look at memes.

        1. Who wants to hack this machine?

        2. Who cares if they do?

        Oh no! I’ll have to reformat. Man… That’s minorly annoying.
