> This is good. I just got a refurb with Windows 10 pre-installed and do NOT want 11.

This offering from Google does NOT provide Windows 10 support. It is ChromeOS, not Windows.

From the article:

ChromeOS has struggled with wider adaptability due to its incompatibility with legacy Windows applications and productivity suites used by businesses.

You're getting a different ball of wax entirely, as I read it. You just get to use the old hardware, with ChromeOS.

With regard to installing ChromeOS: I've used it, it's cool, it's functional, and can do a lot of useful things.

But beware: ChromeOS is NOT Windows and is incompatible with most Windows programs

Replacing Windows 10 with ChromeOS is an "upgrade" of sorts, but it's not like you're getting Windows 10 "extended support". If you want that past the EOL date, you probably have to be a big company with a Windows Volume License, and you have to fork over some pretty big cash to Microsoft.
