I'm running it on an unsupported laptop and it's just as stable as Windows 10.

On further investigation no support for CPU and only has TPM V1.2
I guess it's time to don my Linux hat and go back - I'd moved off Windows for a good while but gradually (as I needed some Apps etc) was drawn back in. Think it's time to have a look at the Likes of Elementary OS and others again...

I can recommend VOID Linux. I've been using it for a couple of years now. I do have a Windows 10 partition just in case I need to run something that only works in Windows, but usually I only boot into it to get the security patches.

I used to work in the head office in London for the largest music retailer, and the main computer system the company was using for checking stocks across the country was actually pretty much based on an MS DOS software. Every command had to be typed and the whole system only worked via keyboard. This wasn’t that long ago. They just never bothered changing it. I’ve no idea how long they had been using it, years and years obviously. It worked fine though.
I was so fast with all the commands that they called me the “boss of DOS” - well this part isn’t true but still.
Actually there was a team that handled calls for all the stores too and you could buy over the phone from them but for the online price and they were using the same DOS system, offering absolutely no security for people’s card details.

Mine didn't until I put my date back to October and then ran the snipping tool. Still working after returning my date to normal and has survived a reboot.Does your snipping tool work though

Interesting. I read about the work around of turning the calendar back but didn't think it would work once reset.

Don't forget COBOL - they all made me a living over the years. I was still doing Linux (UNIX) systems admin when I retired.

I've updated both my desktop and laptop, no issues at all.
Everything is working as it was before and I use stuff such as:
Office
Teams/Zoom
Visual Studio
Solidworks
Various games
It takes a bit of getting used to as things have been 'rearranged'.

AIX is still going strong. We had a dedicated AIX group at my place.
