Windows 11 coming

Forgot to mention I asked about changing to Linux? He ran some tests when I had my computer in there & he said I have 32 programs that will not run on Linux. There are similar programs for Linux but I would have to manually input all my data into them from 20 years back.
So looks like I'm stuck with Win-10

I have a very cheap laptop ($350) running Windows 10. I bought it to use with Turbo Tax and Quicken.

The laptop I actually use runs Ubuntu, and I am very satisfied with that, and happy that I have no bloatware or programs/apps that cannot be deleted. It is a System 76 computer that is designed to run Linux.

Thanks for the idea. I'll go to my dealer & see about getting a laptop that I can run my Excel, Word, & others on, then have him change this one I use mostly for the Internet to Linux. As my banking works with Linux he said.

Yeah, my banking works just fine with Linux. I don't feel like fiddling with Wine, but it supposedly runs Windows programs.

Also, you can install BleachBit on both Windows and Linux computers. It basically cleans out all the junk. If you have it or want to use it, make sure you do not check any boxes labeled passwords or it will delete them. Also if you don't know what each part you can check does, find out first because whatever is deleted, is deleted forever. BleachBit has a website by the same name. My only problem is that I haven't figured out how to install the latest version. I'm pretty sure the first time I installed it was just a click and go situation. I'm not running some secret spy operation here, so I'm content using the current version for now.
