For now yeah, but once Oct 2025 comes around, your options are:

Keep running Win10 without security updates. If you're planning on using the internet still, you'll need to be increasingly careful as new vulnerabilities come out.
Buy (or otherwise acquire) Win10 LTSC. This will keep you safe until 2032 (dependent on which version you get), but when that happens you'll be right here again.
Switch to Win11 and just bare with it. Possibly look up guides to see what you can do about debloating it.
Switch to Linux. I'm not an expert on Distros but I hear Mint is good for people coming from Windows.
