today TOS won't run, so i might have to upgrade windows.
or it might be time to buy a new computer... as my lenovo laptop i7 keyboard has been bulging up 1/4" for several months .....

i don't know when i will have a working TOS again, or posting on here.
only good thing is i make text copies of everything

The disclaimer is a legal necessity for Schwab after Microsoft announced Win10 was no longer being supported.
It is unlikely, that ToS will stop running on Windows10 in the near future, given that Schwab only stopped ToS support of Windows 7 and prior; this year.

That said, I am using it as the final push for me to upgrade to a true dual GPU workstation.
I have been trading on a jury-rigged two rig system to run all my displays and ToS instances; which I am constantly band aiding.

Try this and upgrade your windows 10 to 11 pro. ,,,, I am not promoting just trying to help ,
Used them before and it works 100%. https://www.groupon.com/deals/license-tom-llc-4
I am mainly a Linux user, but TOS stopped supporting Linux which forced me to install and dual boot Windows.

I purchased my Lifetime Activation Key from Groupon and downloaded an official Windows 11 OS directly from Microsoft:
