Compatability is less a problem than missing security patches. Nobody needs an army of infected bots attached to the net.
I’ll believe that they’ll stop shipping security patches when they actually do it. It would obviously be a terrible idea for the reason you stated.
After October 14, 2025, computers running Windows 10 will still function, but Microsoft will no longer provide the following:
- Technical support of any issue
- Software updates
- Security updates or fixes
I know that’s what they are saying, I guess I think they’ll blink when a large percentage of users don’t buy a whole new computer just for a new Windows version.
They’re not going to stop security updates, they’re going to charge for it. Not sure they really have any incentive to not charge for security updates…
I can’t tell from that text if it’s going to be 30$ a year for up to 3 years per user or if the doubling clause in the How much does ESU Cost? section applies to home users or not - if so, total outlay will be 30+60+120 = 210$.
It’s batshit
