I will take your windows 10 PC and give you a keychain made of DDR2 RAM in trade.

I never liked Windows 10, I had way too many issues with it. However, so many companies rely on old versions of Windows and it takes them years to upgrade to the latest version. The machines I use at work still have Windows 10 installed because the software we rely on isn't compatible with Windows 11 yet. This whole "trade in your old PC for a new one" is ridiculous. Thankfully there's many Linux distros that work with older hardware so you don't need Windows!

When management doesn’t want to upgrade from XP because it still works

My highschool PCs had XP for as long as at all possible. They switched them to some beginner friendly Linux after. Way to go.
