My older AMD motherboard and CPU apparently do not support Windows 11. So what happens with end of Windows 10 support in October? Will it be safe or practical to still run Windows 10, or will I be forced to invest in essentailly a brand new PC? I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat.

Long story short, one of my siblings snagged a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and wanted me to upgrade his pre-built PC. Soon enough, we found out that we couldn't; even though his motherboard supports AM4 CPUs, it only allows upgrades to certain AM4 CPUs for some reason. Still, he's deadset on that cpu, so...
