Why is that a "big worry"? Windows 10 was released in 2015. So 2025 would be over 10 years of support. That's a more than valid amount of time to support an OS.

You soon might want to install Linux and get a nice computer.

reactOS. Go check it out and see whether it'll work for you NOW vs Linux later.

I'll just go back to Windows 7. Lack of security updates don't mean much if even the malicious stuff has moved on to 10/11.
