This leaves Microsoft's recommendation to buy a new Windows 11 PC or subscribe to one year of extended security updates as the only options that Microsoft highlights in its recommendations.

I've got a Windows 10 and was hoping they DON'T end their support for it in October. I don't want Windows 11 and am hoping I can hang on to my current Windows 10 computer until they come out with a Windows 12.

“... until they come out with a Windows 12.”

You do realize that if there is a WinDoze 12 it will be even more restrictive and intrusive than W11 is now. The M$ business plan is to eventually get all users into full annual subscription mode. One can easily project a future where your computer related subscription fees for all your systems may exceed your car payment.
