If you really definitely gotta stick with windows for some reason: LTSC + massgrave for activation
If you really gotta stick with windows, you upgrade to windows 11. ESU is fine for a bit, but everyone will start dropping support for windows 10 in the next couple of years, starting with nvidia in 2026. LTSC is not for regular users.
No.
You can take a look at the windows 7 situation if you want a preview of what to expect in the next few years if you stick with windows 10. The other option is linux, we have penguin plushies.
Still no.
Eh, you'll come around.
No.
