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...

They keep on trying foist it on users after every update (my PC is compatible) but Win 11 is a trainwreck most have no desire to install or use....

@bookerdana yep, from what I heard it's pretty much the same, except the start menu is screwed up. So no new features, just the most important part doesn't work anymore.
