   Re Microsoft win 10 machines.

   Don't believe Microsoft

   "because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.

   This is criminal.

   Recycle to Linux.

     @Extelec@mstdn.social It's not recycling if you're taking something that has always been trash and turn it into something usable.

     @Extelec If you install just Linux, you will end up with nonfuntional hardware.
     
     You'll need to install GNU/Linux at least.
