Giving up on Microsoft after they stop supporting W10 with security updates [View all]

I have NOT been pleased with W10. Every new version since 7 gets more bug infested, slower and removes features I used or liked. Security isn't really any better and I turned off auto update so that I don't get blindsided by some new Tuesday update that borks my Thinkpad. I Google windows updates before I do em.

Microsoft tells me my device will not run 11. So...why would I spend $$ to buy a new device to be worse off?? How long before I have to buy another? That's not happening.

So, I'm going all Android after that in being on the 'Net and will be using my device as a W7 workstation with the WiFi switch off. I can read and listen to music or play a DVD on it.

Suggestions? Alternatives?
