Thursday Feb 13, 2025 at 2:00pmWindows 10 will reach End-of-Life, and hence the end of all support, on October 14, 2025. So, if you have a computer that is currently running Windows 10, what are you going to do?
In this presentation, we will discuss the various options, including carrying on using Windows 10, upgrading to Windows 11, and buying a new computer. However, there is another option. Move up to Linux. It’s free, it’s easy to use, and it works! We will take a look at Linux and see how it can be used, in conjunction with Windows 10, to keep older machines running for the foreseeable future.
Presented by Alan German from the Ottawa PC Users' Group.
Registration required. Registrants will receive an additional email with the Zoom link ahead of the program.
