Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!

5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:

  1. No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
  2. Enhanced Privacy
  3. Good For The Planet
  4. Community & Professional Support
  5. Better User Control

      • so you can save on tech support costs, or your techie friend’s free time

      • because you aren’t really bothered by Microsofts stuff

      • because though people are saying it’s easy you will run into problems and i think you’d be happier not dealing with those

      • tho im teasing you some im mostly serious. until you care enough, (and i don’t think you do) it’s honestly not worth the headaches you’ll have

        Thanks for that. It’s only a big deal for me to switch because Windows is all I’ve ever known so there’s some ingrained inertia there. I am genuinely curious though.
