Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 10 in a year and a half 🤬

I understood and respected it when support for older versions was dropped when those weren't sold for 10+ years anymore and only 0.5% of Windows users was still on them. Those customers probably needed a new machine anyway and fixing security threats for so few people is expensive, so okay.

But 70% of users is still on Windows 10 and machines sold as little as 3 years ago are incompatible with an upgrade to Windows 11. Those machines could have lasted much longer.

Besides, when Windows 10 came out, it was announced as the final version. From then on there would only be security updates and minor feature additions but no more complete replacements. Well, that aged like milk...

70% really?

I personally always hated Windows 10 and Windows 11 for me was a godsent. I love it a lot! But truth be told I did install it on a brand new and compatible machine a few years ago.

But yeah, there's no such thing as 'final' in software world.
@FeetAreFantastic 70% feels a bit high for me, too - but I have had 2 systems so far that are incompatible with the upgrade...

BTW, "Godsend" is the word that you are looking for...
@FeetAreFantastic @HootyTheNightOwl it feels high for me too, but that's what it is...
