I have a laptop still with Windows 10. I got it from my late sister about 4 years ago, booted it up, went and installed Ubuntu (18.04 at the time), and never touched Windows again.
I later read somewhere that W10 was forcibly upgrading itself to W11, so I'm afraid to even boot into it. Should probably take some time to copy everything important over and finally nuke it.
For reference, I've been using Linux since around 2012.
It doesn't forcibly update, but it asks in a fullscreen window that looks as if the update started. Just click no thanks/cancel and it will continue to show the desktop. The window returns sometimes, but not always.
Good to know, thanks.
Still, I won't touch Windows if I can help it.
If it isn't encrypted you should be able to mount the Windows partition from Ubuntu
Oh, it isn't encrypted. I've mounted the partition before. I just didn't find the time (read: I was lazy :P).
Haha, fair enough, I feel that. I've been procrastinating on my home lab maintenance.
