Our end of Windows 10 support event
is happening because this October, Microsoft will make millions of people’s computers obsolete by ending support
for Windows 10. Its successor, Windows 11, has unnecessarily strict requirements, meaning vast numbers of computers won’t officially be able to upgrade. This will leave many millions of functional computers and their users entirely unsupported by Microsoft. Microsoft’s
advice? Find yourself a new computer.
You don't have to do that!
Brighton Repair Café is joining repair organisations around the world in helping to keep “redundant” machines running, supported and out of landfill.
You're invited to bring yours at our next event - or just come to find out more.
What we are doing to help at our upcoming event:
We can advise you on your options to keep your computer running well: you can
change to a new operating system, or you may have the option of installing Windows
11 on a computer even though that computer is not officially supported by Microsoft.
We will give you the opportunity to try out alternative operating systems on your
computer without installing them. We will have Linux and ChromeOS ready, and
there will also be a demonstration laptop if you don't want to bring your own yet.
If you want to change your operating system, we can help with that on the day -
there's no rush though, so you can take your time to think, prepare some more and
come back again next month!
We can also resurrect computers that you've put aside years ago due to earlier
versions of Windows (Mac OS) ending.
Always back up all your important data before taking your computer in for repairs! We
won't change your operating system unless you do so. We cannot back up your data at the event.
See you there… Let's keep those computers working!
