I have a perfectly working PC which is running on Windows 10. Now there is no support for Windows 10. The machine is not suitable for an upgrade to Windows 11. I can not afford a new PC. The old one is also giving no trouble. What are the available options for me to use this computer for at least a few more years.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | End of support (EOS)

Hi,

The Extended Security Updates (ESU) program has been extended through 2027. It was originally scheduled to end this October, but Microsoft announced an additional year of support. Once the ESU program ends, your device will still continue to work normally. However, it will no longer receive security updates or technical support from Microsoft, which means newly discovered vulnerabilities will no longer be patched. At that point, you'll need to rely on third party security software and follow good security practices to help protect your device.
