A couple of months ago, I wiped Windows off my old laptop and installed Kubuntu instead. Now, I was thinking of dual booting Windows additionally for a certain game (definitely not League of Legends, for sure not) and will need to buy a new key. Am I fine getting a copy of Windows 10 despite Microsoft’s discontinuation, or should I get a Windows 11 key? I have a different laptop I use as a daily driver (11, Surface Go 3), so this would exclusively be for the game that shan’t be named.

Sorry if this post isn’t fit for this community - I’ll delete it if it isn’t.

    Unnecessary and unhelpful. Plenty of Linux users dual boot with MacOS/Windows. It’s a stretch sure but come on.

      Linux is definitely not in the top 5 places I’d think to ask this.

        Like I said, it’s a stretch. But this isn’t some rampant issue or particularly time consuming. They should just ignore the question if they don’t want to answer it. People online just have such a hard time ignoring things.

        And before someone else feels clever: Yes you could theoretically levy the same critique at me (though I’d disagree), but I would rather skip that part of the conversation as it is equally unproductive.

          No, we should be discouraging such posts to begin with. So how about I just report the post in the hopes of getting it taken down then? Would that be better? Because it certainly doesn’t belong here… and neither do apologists that let happen.

      We aren’t a support forum, especially not a Windows support forum. So yeah, it was suppose to unhelpful, and it was quite necessary.
