Why is that a “big worry”? Windows 10 was released in 2015. So 2025 would be over 10 years of support. That’s a more than valid amount of time to support an OS.
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.
Or install some other OS
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”?
Yup, i run a 9900k with a rx6900, perfectly fast computer, can’t upgrade to 11.
Are you sure about that? The minium CPU I thought was an 8th gen Intel or 2nd gen Ryzen.
And https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-22h2-supported-intel-processors 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?”
That’s a great way to show how those people think.
Having said that; yes. Yes, they can access the Microsoft. Not that you should want that, but you still can.
