    The great windows 10 shutdown is coming in a couple of weeks and I still haven’t upgraded my wife’s laptop! The main holdup is backing up, it turns out that hibernation need to be disabled in Windows 10 to do a proper backup, otherwise there is some sort of encryption on the backup. I wasted 2 days on this already copying 500GB just in case upgrade fails.

    Upgrading to mint of course!

      There is no “Windows 10 shutdown”. The only thing that was supposed to happen is end of free security updates, but Microsoft already decided to give them for free to everyone.
