I meant to download from the official Microsoft site.
Kudos on getting your mum on Linux! I was unable to keep mine on it : /
Maybe I’m missing something, but this is from the “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) for x64 devices” section from the official Microsoft site, but I don’t see any option to buy or mention of it:
Before you begin downloading an ISO Make sure you have:
- An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
- Sufficient data storage available on the computer, USB, or external drive you are downloading the .iso file to.
- A blank DVD disc with at least 8GB (and DVD burner) to create a bootable disc. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted during installation.
- If you receive a “disc image file is too large” message while attempting to burn a DVD bootable disc from an ISO file, consider using a higher capacity Dual Layer DVD.

Download the iso and install home. It won’t stop you, ask for a key, or attempt to activate later. It just installs, runs, and spies happily.
But, yes, I suppose that you’re supposed to pay for it, but they don’t seem to care that much, if at all.
I agree that Windows Pro is a slightly better experience than Windows Home, but the right Linux distro for you is where it’s at. I usually recommend Mint for newcomers, and not one has had issues (beyond the expected “this looks different” comments). I’ve installed Elementary for one person who came from a life of Mac, and she dove right in with almost no hiccups. Know your audience, I guess is the lesson here lol

If we want to get even more pedantic (which I thoroughly enjoy lol), we can even point out that Nixon used the phrase “last version of windows” to mean the “latest version” or “the last version to have been released to date”.
This is in a similar grammatical sense as staying “last week” or “last Wednesday”. Last week wasn’t the last week to have ever existed. Last Wednesday wasn’t the last Wednesday to have ever existed, either. And windows 10 wasn’t the last windows version to ever be released… it was just the latest (or, “last”) version as of the time Nixon said it.

Once enabled as your PC’s backup solution provider from the settings miniapp, it will backup the data on the PC. So, you can’t only enable it.

Windows Homs is free, too.
But here’s the thing that many people (not you) don’t understand. Windows Home is free, as in beer. Linux is free, as in speech, AND free, as in beer.

What’s a “hydrophobic coating” in relation to foods?
I don’t use plastic to heat anything up. I may buy microwavable foods, but then scrape them into a metallic or class container and heat them in the oven (that’s more out of necessity, as I don’t have a microwave oven). And I don’t like popped corn (though I kind of wish I did).

Do you think I was being sarcastic? I was serious. That burn was awesome and it legitimately made me laugh lol
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 1 week ago:
This is expensive and time consuming Because this is not a permanent solution (the patient will get reinundated with microplastics shortly after the procedure), they will need reapplications throughout their whole lives. Thus, this will likely only be available to the ultrarich.
The article does point out that prevention is still the best solution. But the corpos make that hard.
- Comment on Some of your AI prompts could cause 50 times more CO2 emissions than others 1 week ago:
That’s a good question no one else seems to be asking. When you run local prompts, you’re using more battery on your laptop or power from your PSU, but both of those are limited by their relatively small power consumption (when compared to server farms). Therefore, it could be likened to encoding heavy video or exporting complex blender models. Are you using more electricity? Yes. Is it city-eroding amounts more? Not even close.
