You could do #2 until the cows come home, but it's never going to be complete.

My 5 year old Dell XPS was marked as unsupported by Windows 11. Something changed 2 weeks ago and now it's available.
Seems to run fine. One improvement is that suspend works properly for the first time.
Still don't like being forced to have the start stuff at the bottom.
My 2 year old phone isn't getting any more Android updates.
My 6 year old laptop is happily running Windows 11. My 'Grandfather's Axe' PC will continue forever.
I know there are similar long support for 'proper' Linux and Mac.
How long are these Android laptops going to be getting updates?
My wife was at A&E with her mother 2 weeks ago. Yes, the paper records were with the patient. However, they were then separated giving a further 30 minute delay to treatment.
This was for an 80+ year old with a dislocated hip who had already waiting 2 hours for an ambulance and had been waiting in a corridor for another 3 hours.
When I did my MCP (Windows 2000), it was a really useful being a foundation course in Windows and more general technology (DHCP, DNS, RAID and more).
I looked to upgrade my knowledge to a more recent version of Windows. Now it's little more than bulk learning PowerShell commands. Of no interest to me and something you can look up more easily.
Just in case anyone refers back to this, it's now 1st July. Intuit said that only up to 2015 would continue to work. I have perpetual licence of 2016. Licence refresh has worked and Quickbooks is still working and restarting.
It did seem slow but I'm working over a VPN, so that may be to blame.
It's not quite as dramatic as it sounds in the article. Intuit are being opaque to scare people into moving online.

I'm on 2016 but on the perpetual licence. I can see a 'licence refresh' of 31st May in the about. Not sure if this will stop working at the end of the month or not.
If it does, I suppose I'll be forced to move. I'll go QB online on their special for 6 months which would take me over my year end.
Then it will be anything other than QB!
I sell a bit of software for a US company that bases its European operations in Bulgaria (long story). In Bulgaria, it's normal for a company to use Euro as a base currency even though it's not the national currency.
I'd have thought it would be the same for EU countries that have either opted out of the Euro or have not yet joined.
Surprised that this didn't come up at SAP before now.
