Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline

The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don’t meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

  Let’s not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run “the Microsoft” or “the Google”?

  Are you sure about that? The minium CPU I thought was an 8th gen Intel or 2nd gen Ryzen.
  
  And …microsoft.com/…/windows-11-22h2-supported-intel-… has your CPU listed.

That is a problem absolutely. Anything older than 8th gen Intel or 2nd gen Ryzen is cut off, which will be less than 10 years old in 2025. I get why they’re doing that, but for a lot of people that is nothing but a hassle.

One amongst many fixes is to install Linux and have a great computer

  Yeah, that’s true, but many people will wonder “Can I still be able to access the Microsoft from a Linux?”

    “the Microsoft”
    
    That’s a great way to show how those people think.
    
    Having said that; yes. Yes, they can access the Microsoft
