My question is what, if anything, are you going to do with your Windows 10 PC/Laptop/Devices?

If you are keeping WIN10, one good idea is to make an USB Stick (Bootable) of the latest version of WIN10 incase you need to reinstall/repair...also downloading the latest ISO would not be a bad idea either...
 
Lucky for me, Win 7 isn't expiring in the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I have one Win7 left. I have not used it much and can't upgrade hardware anymore, Win11 would crawl if I did. Try to keep it off my network (private), just incase...guess none of the versions expire, just stop updates...

I have 3 Win10 machines, not able to upgrade due to Secure Boot plus old Proc.

Maybe I need to try this (Flyby11):

He has some good tips:

 
I have three systems still on W10 that MS says do not meet hardware requirements. These three systems are ones that I have built several years ago. It is my plan to re-build these systems to a more current CPU and put W11 on them. But I doubt that I will have the time to do this before the end of the year.

1. My BI machine is an i7-8700.
2. Wife's desktop is an i7-7700K.
3. My desktop is an i7-3770K.

Glad you posted the info above. I think that I will try that out on these systems and hope that I can postpone rebuilding them until 1Q26.

I really dread the rebuild as I do not cherish trying to reload all of the software on each of these systems.
 
I would upgrade my two Win 10 PC's to Win 11 if they get rid of that hardware requirement. I know there are hacks but I don't want to deal with that crap
