You’re using a consumer version of Windows? Businesses can pay for extended support.

Oh true, forgot about that. In that case we won't think about it for a few years I'm sure...

I've suggested we modify a Linux distro to use instead, but no one seems to want to pay for the setup. Which is fair I guess.

No worries, I was genuinely asking. My gf works at a ~€10b multinational engineering corpo and they use what seems to be a consumer version (it has ads!). I work for a different corpo and we have LTSC version so big features come later once properly tested.
