Throw it away.
Gently
In my direction
Why gently?
Also make sure to remove all BIOS passwords first
Don't wanna hurt the other person or the computer, duh. After all, a device infested with Windows doesn't really need to be punished for it.

Any unpatched windows machine can be patched into a Linux machine.

Still on a t430 lmao
My IBM is still going strong.
I installed graphyOS on mine
I just lost out on the sale of two Lenovo P51 thinkpads because the CPU has been literally arbitrarily cut off. 32gb ddr4 2400mhz, quad core xeon, Nvidia GPU w/ 4gb gddr5, 512gb SSD. Because Microsoft decided to leave it off of a spreadsheet. Fuck this company….
I have two Xeon E5-2697A v4's in my system. 32 cores. My machine runs the latest AAA titles like Indiana Jones on maximum settings flawlessly.
Microsoft: "Just throw it away, bro." Bless Lord Gaben for making Proton so good, I can run 95% of my Steam library on Linux, with better performance.
Microsoft: “Can’t run our AI dataminer?”
I just installed Mint instead.
That moment when Microsoft tells people to throw away perfectly good working computers because they're running Windows 10. When Windows 10 was just coming out or had just come out, Microsoft promised that Windows 10 would be the last OS of theirs, and there would only be updates. Also Microsoft is constantly sending messages to people running Windows 10 urging them to update.
I remember that "promise" too. And here we are
