Do I have to throw away my laptop or upgrade expensive - anyway, because inserts keep coming: "No more support win 10 from October"?
What is the easiest way to do it?
Probably refers to version 1809.

The report says November. Don't know what the current status is.
Windows 10 is much faster and safer WITHOUT support (especially the latter) than with. You can continue to use it. If I were you, I would even go so far as to completely turn off the updates, as 85% of them will sooner or later promote system instability!
Must be done every 2 years.
Windows 10 itself does not go out of support, but only old versions of Windows 10. If you do not have the current version of Windows 10, then you have to look in the Windows update to see where it depends.
How do you get such nonsense?
There will probably be a forced update to the latest version at some point.
Before you throw it away: put Kubuntu on it.
But Windows 10 should also be supported for a while.
You can't completely turn off updates in Win 10 like in Win 7! You can only delay updates in Win 10 until a later point in time. At some point there will be a forced update. You can't get around it.
You can, but you should be familiar with the registry when switching off completely. For me it has been completely switched off for about a year and a half.
25 years of experience. Microsoft has never provided good updates. Sooner or later some unthinking update will come, causing some devastating damage to the system.
Only Apple makes good updates. No one else.
Ok, I would like to be instructed otherwise. Maybe you can explain how it works. Also don't want any more updates.
Maybe - even if I'm also quite happy with Linux updates. But security updates are definitely more important than a stable system.
If you want your own little zoo of viruses, worms, and Trojans, this is certainly a good idea. Otherwise: keep your hands off.
Red Hat Linux Enterprise in particular has rock solid updates. But Debian Stable is - as the name suggests - stable.
OK!
Just because you don't use Windows's own updates and security updates doesn't mean that you don't follow third-party programs that you trust.
In addition, almost 100% is always the fault of the user when he catches worms, Trojans or viruses. And even the Defender is the worst AV protection available, but is rated as "sufficient". A condition that power users see as unacceptable.
Third party programs
That's right, you can do that - but then it's not just an intervention in the registry. And whether the security updates really update everything when you import them into a system that is no longer supported, I don't think is absolutely necessary.
In addition, almost 100% is always the fault of the user when he catches worms, Trojans or viruses.
Let's say 99%. It is the user's fault not to install updates.
AV protection
Doesn't exist anyway. Most of it does more harm than it helps. Unfixed (known) security problems for years, breaking the encryption, etc.
