Windows 10 EOL - Hackdot

I'd love it if manufacturers would unlock the BIOS of business-grade laptops when Windows 10 ends, but I don't have any hope. Two of my laptops will just.. die, as I can't install Linux on them.

If you look around on the net, you'll probably find cracks for your laptop BIOSes - I did for an old Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook, for example.

You can already bypass microsoft's checks and install windows on unsupported hardware.
