Don&#8217;t worry: <strong>upgrading to Windows 10 is completely free<\/strong>&#8230; although you will encounter a problem soon, because on October 14, 2025, ten years after its release, support will also be discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what&#8217;s the solution? Well, <strong>possibly upgrading to Windows 11<\/strong> completely, although you may have to retire your decade-old computer for that. Yes, don&#8217;t worry about the expense: any laptop, no matter how basic it may seem, will be an incredible improvement compared to what you had before because everything has evolved enormously in the last fifteen years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/11-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-335952\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably switching to a system like Windows 11 after years with Windows 7 is going to be a little shock, but <strong>we assure you that all the changes are for the better once you get used to them<\/strong>, from virtual desktops to a unified notification system to see them all in one place, or an easier way to organize your windows for multitasking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let&#8217;s say you flatly refuse to change your old Windows 7. You can, but you will face several problems: <strong>apps will stop updating, the operating system will be vulnerable to risks<\/strong>, and there will be no one on the other side to help you. At least switch to Windows 10, and then we&#8217;ll see what happens. Take a friend&#8217;s advice. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Windows 11\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3a83edc2-8bcb-4baa-8fbe-3ddcf458c1a4\/1709716978\/windows-11-win11icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Windows 11<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/windows-11.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/windows-11.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/windows-11-snap-layouts-groups\/\">Windows 11 Snap Layouts and Groups<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, good day, did you ask someone to break the glass that connects you with reality and makes you see time in an erroneous way?
