Its a shame that Windows10 is coming to its end...

I've two 1050ti in two different machines. One is just to give a machine a HDMI port. Its my file server. The other is a in a kids game machine but it has no tmp either. Mostly used for strategy games. Guess something cheap could replace it.

Why ? It will still work just fine … you’ll just not get the latest drivers, but so what? The last revision will be stable with a lot of the bugs ironed out.

Even then, on a fresh install windows itself downloads and installs basic whql drivers for nvidia cards without you needing to install any nvidia specific stuff. Why change?

My own machine is reaching the point where most things need replacing before they either die of old age or go pop.
 
I'm not looking forward to the middle of October, not me personally. I've seen W 3.1/95/95se/98/I Skipped ME, From what I hear I'm glad I did/XP/Vista :mad:/7/ 8 :(/ 10 & Now W11 dual boot with linux for a while, both are now on separate rigs.
Reason I'm not looking forward is Dad. At 86 he doesn't like change. With every release of Windows he gets confused on doing what he wants to do on a PC, as his 'IT Manager'. I have to show him or do a PC task for him as its easier for me, but its difficult for him at his age to learn a new OS.

Same with my mum.

Being the free IT helpdesk, calming her down and telling her she's not, in actual fact, broken the internet by misplacing a folder I'm not sure how W11 will go.

I'm moving full-time to Linux by October, I really can't face getting her on that. She's also adverse to change and I think W11 will be hard enough for her.
 
Similar story here. I'm prepping my old (i7 6700K) pc to hand down to mum (replacing i7 920). She's so intimidated by tech it was difficult to even get her to agree to accept a free upgrade, think she would rather have kept using Win 10 without updates for the rest of her life. She'll be visiting me and taking it home with her, there's a 50/50 chance she gets home and is too scared to set it up.

I think you can install windows 10 ltsc iot over a regular 10 install so nothing has to be reinstalled. Then you don't need to worry about change confusing your parents until 2032.

The issue with that is getting a license for it as its for businesses only and not for home users.
