ESET recommends installing Linux if your unsupported Windows 11 PC can't update from 10

ESET has suggested that users who are unable to update to Windows 11 due to unsupported hardware can try switching to Linux.

Original article: https://www.eset.com/de/about/presse/pressemitteilungen/pressemitteilungen/security-fiasko-32-millionen-computer-in-deutschland-laufen-noch-mit-windows-10/

ESET recommends switching to Windows 11 as quickly as possible. Alternatively, a Linux distribution can also be a good option, especially for older hardware.

66.12% of Windows PCs are still on Windows 10 in Germany, 62.73% worldwide.

  The situation is more dangerous than when support for Windows 7 ended in early 2020. Even before the official date, at the end of 2019, only around 20 percent of users were still using Windows 7. Over 70 percent were already using the new Windows 10.

    Hardly a surprise, since Windows 10 didn’t need new hardware to run. You could install it on anything.
