We did have a lap top which finally came up with the message “This computer can no longer be updated . Buy a new computer.”

Windows 11 is out, and Windows 10 is being officially retired next October. A machine that's 5 years old MIGHT not be updateable. Mine isn't. I just bought a new desktop because some of my old apps were updated for Windows 11 and weren't working properly anymore. They still worked - just not well.
Security updates will cease to exist for windows 10 next October. That means they're already barely stable now, and will be UNstable next year.
Thanksgiving sales are when you find the best prices, so Windows has basically forced everyone into having to buy a replacement a full year before they turn windows 10 into legacy machines.
I'll have to buy a new laptop too for the same reason.
