After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide:

• Keep all other software up to date

• Consider Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for limited coverage through 2026

• Use Microsoft’s PC Health Check Tool to confirm eligibility

• If needed, VM Hubs offers Windows 11 Pro licenses and upgrade assistance

Option 3: Upgrade Your Hardware

If your current hardware doesn’t support Windows 11, it may be time to consider:

• Refurbished PCs: Affordable, reliable, and available through VM Hubs

• New PCs: We help you source new hardware at competitive prices from trusted brands

⚙️ Thinking of Other Operating Systems?

While it’s possible to install Linux or ChromeOS, we don’t recommend this unless you’re technically experienced. These systems may void warranties and have limited support options.

• Donate it: We’ll help you find tech recycling programs or donation options
