Your Windows 10 PC will soon be ‘junk’ - users told to resist Microsoft deadline::If you’re still using Windows 10 and don’t want to upgrade to Windows 11 any time soon you might want to sign a new online petition
It’s the more recent computers that can’t run Windows 11. So that’s what 5 years of support?
Windows 10 came out in 2015 and eighth gen Intel and 2nd gen Ryzen came out in 2018. So it would be 7 years of support unless you bought an older computer then.
It’s not when compatible chips started selling, it’s when you could still buy non compatible chips and computers. If I could go to Best Buy last year and buy a new computer that’s not compatible with Windows 11, then that’s 1+ 2 more years for a total of 3 years support.
So the question is: when could you still buy a computer that wasn’t compatible. That’s the support length for many people.
Good point, although by then we’re getting to variables that MS can’t control.
I know people have bypassed the spec check to get 11 installed, I think MS should just allow people to bypass it officially for a certain length of time. It’s a pain in the ass to support older machines and OSes, but striking a middle ground is good.
