    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.

        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
