I am guessing that forcing you to do backup has something to do with lowering "their" support costs for that last year.

Meanwhile, asking for 1000 points is a way to make siad points worthwhile for something or other.

One has to remmeber that microsoft wants people to move to win11, not to stay on win10. The ESU has always been for enterprises, and reflects that...

Here's a shorter article:
Install IOT version, get patches until 2029, use massgrave to activate.
You're welcome.

Here is a slightly longer article:
"Install IOT version, get patches until 2029, use massgrave to activate. Get royally screwed if you need (Cyber)Insurance, Certifications or Audits that depend of said machine because of your line of work."

I told a client the other day that I cannot in good conscience recommend Windows 11 to them, despite them having a capable computer. I also pointed out that the user interface changes make migration to 11 difficult (they are elderly), and so it should be a good time to step off from Microsoft altogether, since they'll have to learn a new UI regardless. They don't want to buy new hardware (and I don't think they should), so Mac is not happening. Now I'm exploring Linux distros for them. I've never used Linux for just desktop/web browsing/media consumption, so I have no idea where to begin.
Does anyone here recommend Ubuntu Cinnamon?

If the machine is 32-bit, Linux Mint Debian Edition. If the machine is 64 bits, Linux mint or Zorin, your choice.
