IBM ThinkPad with a Windows 10 installer showing the status: installing updates.
Tomorrow (Oct 14) at 10:00 AM CDT, @actionretro.bsky.social and I celebrate Windows 10 going EOL. You will be missed. 🫡
Check back on Bluesky at that time (or have notifications on)!
Remember that time we installed Windows 11 on a Sun UNIX workstation?
