End of Windows 10

[Lord Tyrion]

Why do anything? As I understand it, Windows 10 will still continue to run on the old machine. It just that you won't get updates.
But I'm still running all the Lotus software from eons ago and even Quicken98 on W10
The only issue I see is if you get some new software package, it may not be compatible.

The updates could be important in protecting the machine from outside influences. These are work computers, it isn't worth taking a risk for.

My HP home desktop system is also in the unable to upgrade camp. Gonna splash on a new/ refurb laptop with a lot more power and features…. About £400. Seems like the logical and best solution. Nothing I can’t transfer from old to new.

Not sure I understand this one either. As long as the mac is Intel based then no virtual environment is needed. Boot Camp will install and support dual OS from a physical location.

Thankyou, and correct.
And BTW I don't like Apple, but boy this Mac is well built and quality.

OK.

What would you use to transfer the whole shebang to a new PC/Laptop?

I don't know, I'd have to look into it. A lot of what we do now is cloud based so most things just need us to sign into the account. The key is making sure that I have all of the passwords to hand

Why “use” anything, put existing hard drive in to new hardware, it will still work. Drivers for new hardware will be needed. Then run upgrade to new OS.

Work is upgrading to Win 11 shortly and, as usual, people are in meltdown as they don't like change. Big thing they are moaning about is having to use your email to log on instead of your personal ID. Means typing in double the amount of characters!
They really don't like change here
