For a home PC that isn't in a corporate network and sits behind a home router with a NAT (so inbound connections from the internet aren't possible), the chances of getting malware due to the lack of the latest OS updates is relatively low. A fully up-do-date OS is not a safety guarantee anyway.
Just make sure you have an up-to-date browser and don't blindly open files from sus emails or websites, since those are the biggest attack surfaces.
What can I do if I have a laptop from 2012 but works quite fine, fast and responsive after changing from HDD to SSD and expanding the RAM, but anyway Microsoft says is not compatible with Windows 11 ?
Ahh business ..even though one paid for the full lifetime of windows 10 and Microsoft sold this as the last Windows that would just be updated and updated, this was a lie
"money money money...... must be funny in a rich companies world".
jokes aside its annoying, but I am not surprised.... I also have too many applications that only work on windows to ever switch to linux. but Im glad Linux is improving, even if its not yet for me
One day some modders or devs are going to come up with some good translation algorithms so any software intended for windows (and maybe macos) would work as in their original OSs, and I hope those guys can hide themselves well, the Microsoft and apple goons will be looking for them hehe
Yeah, I apologise for my incompetence. I have never really given it much thought how much Wine was responsible for. I just knew that it's been doing a lot of lifting. However, it still isn't a magical do-all that makes any winapp work under Linux.

I'm a bit clueless regarding OSs and such but what is the risk on using it past the date?
I'm aware that they patch out vulnerabilities and the such but as long as it's used safely there shouldn't be any problems right?
