This device has expired. Now what?

Can I keep using the Microsoft Surface Book with Performance Base?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after November 2021 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
