I've got an old motherboard that doesn't support UEFI or secure boot, and my CPU isn't compatible with Windows 11 either. So, technically, I can't upgrade. As a broke student, I'm not looking to spend money on a new motherboard or processor right now since everything is still functioning fine and I can play the games I enjoy. But since Windows 10 is set to lose support in October, should I stay on 10, or should I take the plunge and try to install Windows 11 anyway?

You might be in luck! There's going to be an option for home users to pay for an extension of support for Windows 10 by one extra year after October. This could be a more affordable solution for you while you save up for a new setup without the pressure of losing updates right away.
How ancient is your computer if it doesn't support UEFI? Generally, I'd recommend installing Windows 11, but if your hardware is that old, it might be time for a replacement. You can get a surprisingly decent computer for around $150 these days if that's really the case.
I just upgraded my old Windows 10 laptop to a new one with Windows 11 pre-installed, so I didn’t have to deal with the hassle of upgrading myself. It depends on your situation, but I’ve found the transition to be pretty smooth.
I’ve heard people say Windows 11 is better now than it was at the start, but I think I’ll keep using Windows 10 as long as I can. I just wish Linux would get better support for gaming; then I might consider switching!
