My PC uses Windows 10, and Microsoft will stop providing updates for it this October. After doing the check I have found that my computer is not suitable to just change over 10 to 11 and it would require some updating of bits of it to work with 11.
Sadly, being Australia computer parts are a lot more expensive than they are elsewhere, the US primarily (although one wonders how the prices will go if Mr Trump’s tariffs on China keep on happening).
A note: I am very much a senior woman with no technical ability so saying ‘you can do it yourself’ is not an option. I will have to talk to the people who do any upgrades I need (and it already needs a new graphics card) to see how much of my current PC can be salvaged to reduce costs. The SSD is fairly new, as are the RAM but I suspect the cpu, the motherboard, probably the power unit and the W11 itself, will have to be paid for. I’ll be lucky to see much change from Aus$1000.
Its a bit frustrating, I don’t know why they can’t at least extend the security updates for a while yet because my W10 works perfectly fine for my needs.
