Windows 10 on your relatives' computers. Help them switch to Linux now! End of support is on October 14th.

yeah no you give them windows 11 unless you want a death wish to become their eternal tech support person

Think what you will of Apple but for this scenario you can’t beat iPad + AppleCare. A simple device and if anything comes up that the tech illiterate relatives don’t understand they can just call Apple support instead of you. Has saved me hours of my life.

Agreed. My mum wasn’t sure but has been rocking an iPad for something like 5 years now trouble free. I just make sure it’s updated every now and then when I’m round there and that’s it.
