Windows 10 is ending, but your computer doesn't have to. Bring your Windows 10 computer and we'll help you install Linux, a free operating system that will make your old computer feel new again.

Not sure if Linux is right for you? We'll explain what it is, how it works, and let you try it first. No pressure to install.

What To Bring
* Your computer (desktop or laptop)
* Power cable/charger
If you have them, also bring:
* Monitor, keyboard, and mouse (for desktops)

Before You Arrive:
* Back up your files (your computer will be completely wiped)
* Give your computer a quick physical clean (wipe dust, blow out vents)

Completely free!
All ages welcome
Free pizza & drinks
No technical experience needed

Agenda
6:00 Doors open, pizz & drinks
630 “What is Linux?” presentation (15 min)
6:45 One-on-one installation help
8:30 Event ends (leave with a faster computer!)
