The great windows 10 shutdown is coming in a couple of weeks and I still haven't upgraded my wife's laptop! The main holdup is backing up, it turns out that hibernation need to be disabled in Windows 10 to do a proper backup, otherwise there is some sort of encryption on the backup. I wasted 2 days on this already copying 500GB just in case upgrade fails.
Upgrading to mint of course!

If you do end up needing some time, check out 0patch. They're continuing security updates for Windows 10 and you can do a one month trial for free.

There is no "Windows 10 shutdown". The only thing that was supposed to happen is end of free security updates, but Microsoft already decided to give them for free to everyone.

It's free in the EU for an extra year, but afaik they're requiring that you have an account signed in on Windows.
Otherwise apparently you will be able to a year's support via 1000 points on the Microsoft rewards website.
