When was that older PC originally put into service with Win10?

  Think, power user, is anyone other than Relf's old computer running a
vintage *build* of Windows 10, since an expert knows it grew bloat-
wise at least until 20H2.  It would save me from Win11 hell, if it had
real extended support, but they'll make it short-term.  M$ has
endorsed GNU/Linux.

Irrelevant to the question posed on lifecycle costs ...
