Wait, just now?

Then why did I read online that it was insecure as hell to stay in Windows 8.1? (I was setting up an old lap for a mom's friend, with 4 painful GBs of RAM).

Also, doesn't Windows 10 support supposedly end next year?

I think I am not getting the kind of support that Windows provides.

The extended support updates aren't available to end consumers but is a paid product for enterprises that need more time to update.

That won't stop us. I've still got customers on variants of Windows XP.

I can't believe I haven't turned off recall on my latest computer. I need to harden it already... and make my transition to linux.

Recall is opt in now though and iirc you also need an ARM computer with some very specific processor to be able to use it at all.
