I know people tire of the "just use Linux" suggestion, but c'mon man...
You're using a 15 year old OS that reached EoL over 4 years ago because the company that made it completely enshittified the next 3 major releases of the OS (and counting). You know Microsoft isn't going to reverse course and make a good OS again. You're just creating an even worse problem for yourself by running outdated, insecure code while the rest of the world moves forward.
Installing and learning how to use Linux is arguably the saner option, but if that's not something you're willing to face, at least plan on buying a Mac as your next computer instead of permanently committing yourself to deprecated software, or forcing yourself to accept enshittification because that's the only upgrade path you're familar with...
