  Well, 10 is going away in about a year anyway, isn’t it. I don’t think they really care about 10 anymore.

    I’m staying on 10 until it really doesn’t work, and then moving entirely to Linux. I already don’t use windows much and I’m not missing most of it.

      And that’s completely fine. I would advise on a cut-off date of around Oct 15. 2025. Your OS won’t receive any security updates after that and having it connected to internet at that point is going to be a major risk.

      You have more than a year to prepare, though. Use it wisely. :)

        I personally think the risk of not receiving updates is pretty overstated. I’m more concerned with when applications stop supporting it - which normally happens because libraries stop supporting it.

    It’s just support that’s going away, not the OS.
