Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them::Windows 10 gets a version of the program that extended updates for Windows 7.

    I can’t upgrade to Windows 11 (not that I’d want to considering all their enshittification), so they’re leaving me with an unsecured OS. I survive on £160 a month so, no, I won’t be paying for fucking security updates, instead I’ll be switching to Linux and literally never considering using Windows again.

      It’s also not reasonable to expect updates forever. No matter what, support for software always stops at some point, and 10 years of support is pretty reasonable for consumer products. Not great, but also not terrible.

        Normally sure, but maybe Microsoft shouldn’t have tried saying windows 10 was the last windows version, to then release a new version that a lot of people can’t even upgrade their current PCs to.

        But consider that windows is a paid product, and its competition, linux, is both free and with much much longer support for old hardware, not to mention never having “sequels” in this way. I feel like windows doesn’t have much excuse compared to this.
