John in Bridgewater, New Jersey called in to help other listeners. John said: "I'm calling about the expiration of support for Windows 10 that Microsoft is calling at the end of October here. And I wanted to point some people in the direction for getting support for updates for their Windows 10 going forward. Because Windows 10 is still working fine. It's works just fine. And they just try to push people to buy new computers and to get something with a TPM 2.0 to run Windows 11, even though Windows 11 doesn't need the TPM 2.0. There are hacks for that. But I'm not here to help you hack. Windows is offering through their Edge browser their Windows Bing Rewards. You can use rewards points to get that. I think it's a thousand points a month to get the continued support for another year. That's one way to do it. I don't want to give them any more money. So there's another website out there called Zero Patch. That's the number zero. And then the word patch.com and you can sign up I think it's like 30. So like $33, $34 for the year. And what I like about them is they load those patches in real time. So they're not modifying your computer. It's not somebody strange coming in and making changes to your operating system, their loaded in real time. So every time you turn the computer on and every time and changes made to the patches they load it in into a real time memory. So it's only running in memory. It's not saving anything on your hard drive, and they do a great job with it. And that that's what I'm going to be using for my two Windows 10 machines that still work just fine. And there's no need to replace them. Anyway, that's my suggestion for the week. Oh, and as always, please use a password manager. Please, please use a password manager. All right. Thanks. Bye."Thank you, John
