I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?
I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.
You can install 11 with a quick registry edit. I've been running 11 for over a year this way on a ryzen 1600 (not even an old CPU) without any issue. This proves they're absolutely going to bat for the likes of netflix and disney+ in their perpetually losing war against piracy. Like I've never not been able to acquire an episode of a popular show on a streaming service within 24 hours, so what's all this even for?
It's Microsoft's continual march in the direction of adding more ads, and more spyware into Windows.
