> This means revamping your PC’s operating system will run you anywhere from $139 to $199, depending on whether you want a “home” or “pro” license. Paying that much just to maintain access to your own games library isn’t exactly pleasant, but in the realm of digital media, there aren’t many other options.

Looks like Extremetech has never considered that Linux may be a valid option as well.

@boilingsteam At least in EU is (legal) market with cheap unused win licenses.
But yes Linux is an option. I am still surprised how well proton works even if linux compatibility is not declared.

didiko,

@boilingsteam though it has been a while since I last checked, but I thought that MS is still allowing upgrades for free, no?
The problem is the hardware requirements of Win 10/11, I believe.
