You can continue to use Windows 10, for a while.

You can convert to Linux Mint, which works similar to Windows and is free. You can use Libre office, which is comparable to Word and Excel.

My choice is the Chromebook. Docs and Sheets work very well (and you can easily convert from Windows to Chrome).
Best of all, you cannot get a virus Malware is a different problem).
Updates are automatic when you shut off the Chromebook and turn it back on.
I still have one of the first Chromebooks (doesn't work).
I have old PCs that I converted to Linux and others that I converted to Chrome/OS (Chromebook like).

I will NEVER go back to Windows.
You need Windows 11 if you want to download TurboTax for the 2025 tax season onto a desktop or laptop computer. I don't want to use the online version.
