I am a lower income, disabled, senior, former college graduate, and my present computer was a gift from my now deceased veteran brother. It used to be considered Bad Form, i.e.; disrespectful, impertenent, unethical to: a) create obsolesance like you have, in your refusing to serve me/my 32 bit Windows 7 laptop, trying to Force upgrades that someone might not have been thought desireable or necessary and now cost money, and b) impose your options, (optional updates etc.) that may negatively affect format, making changes NOT desired,.."from 2016 onwards we do the search and automatically everything that Microsoft decides to install is installed" Just what I/many would hope to AVOID, [email address removed due to PII]

    You should consider running Linux on your old hardware. Of course, you can keep running Windows offline on your old hardware without any updates.

    You may be able to get a Windows 11 computer for free. You can search for resources online. The government offered discounts on new computers to those who qualified during the COVID crisis.
