On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. That means hundreds of millions of otherwise functional computers will suddenly be pushed toward obsolescence—not because they’re broken, but because they no longer fit within a closed and arbitrary upgrade cycle. Devices that lack the latest hardware, or simply fail to meet opaque requirements for Windows 11, will be cast aside.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? What if you could keep using it for years to come? What if you could even make it better than it was before?

Your Neighborhood PC Guy can help you convert your Windows computer to Linux, a free and open-source operating system that is secure, fast, and customizable. With Linux, you can enjoy a modern computing experience without the hassle of Windows updates, viruses, or spying.

6 Reasons to Upgrade to Linux

Cost

A new laptop costs a lot of money, but several Linux operating systems are available for free. Software updates are also free, forever.

Privacy / Anonymity

Windows comes with lots of ads and spyware. This slows down your computer and lets companies spy on you.

Performance

Windows is bloated. Linux is lean. You don’t need a brand-new laptop to browse the internet, write documents and watch media.

No Forced Updates

Windows controls when and how you update – even if it’s at the worst possible time. Linux rejects that model. You control when to update your system.

No Advertising

Windows has ads in the start menu, ads in the file explorer, “suggestions” everywhere. Linux has none. No pop-ups telling you to subscribe, no “recommended apps. You own it, without sponsored noise.

No Activation Hassles

Windows makes you jump through license activation hoops. Change hardware? Locked out. Reinstall? Locked out. Linux has no activation. Your computer should belong to you.
