One of your few options for continued use of your laptop or desktop beyond Windows 10 is to install Linux. Here\u2019s why that\u2019s not a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>The good folks at Microsoft have set high expectations for Windows 11 devices, publishing\u00a0minimum system requirements that stretch the meaning of the word \u201cminimum.\u201d If your device is even a few years old, chances are your computer won\u2019t cut the mustard.<\/p>\n<p>Outmoded hardware, though, can leave you in a real pickle.

Linux operating systems (also called distros) typically have much more relaxed system requirements, and some even cater specifically to old and low-end hardware. Best of all, Linux is free.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-686762 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/elementary_os_linux.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Elementary OS Linux Distro\" width=\"650\" height=\"380\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laptop running the Linux distro Elementary OS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you still decide to buy a Windows 11-capable PC, installing Linux on your old machine allows you to continue getting use out of your still-functioning hardware, at no cost to you.

After that, you can\u00a0boot it on your PC and try it out. Don\u2019t worry, this \u201clive boot\u201d won\u2019t erase your current Windows system or files unless you explicitly choose to go that route.<\/p>\n<p>If you like what you see, go ahead and follow\u00a0our complete guide to installing Linux.
