Windows 10 and Windows 11 Versions Usable in 2026 and LaterIn 2026 and beyond, Windows 10 will no longer receive free security updates (mainstream support ended October 14, 2025). Paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) are available for limited periods, but Microsoft strongly recommends upgrading to Windows 11 for ongoing free support.Only Windows 11 versions (General Availability Channel) that have not reached their End of Servicing (EOS) date will receive free monthly security and quality updates. LTSC editions have longer support but are typically for Enterprise/IoT use.

OS Version	Edition Group	Original Release Date	Support Length	End of Servicing (EOS) Date	Supported in 2026+? (Free Updates)	Notes
Windows 10 (all versions, incl. 22H2)	Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, etc.	Various (final: Oct 2022)	Varies (final until Oct 2025)	October 14, 2025	No (paid ESU possible for some years)	No free updates after 2025; vulnerable without ESU or upgrade.
Windows 11, version 23H2	Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, etc.	October 2023	24 months	November 11, 2025	No (ends late 2025)	Upgrade to newer version required for continued support.
Windows 11, version 23H2	Enterprise, Education	October 2023	36 months	October 2026 (approx.)	Partially (until ~Oct 2026)	Free updates through most of 2026; upgrade recommended afterward.
Windows 11, version 24H2	Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, etc.	October 2024	24 months	October 2026 (approx.)	Yes (until ~Oct 2026)	Will be supported through 2026; upgrade to future versions for longer.
Windows 11, version 24H2	Enterprise, Education	October 2024	36 months	October 2027 (approx.)	Yes (until ~Oct 2027)	Longest standard support among current versions.
Windows 11, version 25H2	Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, etc.	~October 2025 (expected)	24 months	~October 2027	Yes (full support in 2026+)	Latest annual feature update; assumes standard cadence.
Windows 11, version 25H2	Enterprise, Education	~October 2025 (expected)	36 months	~October 2028	Yes (full support in 2026+)	Extended support period.

Key Recommendations for 2026+ Use:

Stay on the latest Windows 11 version (annual updates released in the second half of each year) to ensure ongoing free security updates.
Home/Pro editions: 24 months support per version -> update annually.
Enterprise/Education: 36 months support per version -> more flexibility.
Future versions (e.g., 26H2 in 2026) will extend support further.

What's the point of this post? Stick to Windows 10 or move onto Linux. Or, wait for Windows 12 hoping it will be less of a disaster than Windows 11 was and it will support your old PC.

The point is to get through to people that security is paramount if you want to play about on the net with Russian/Chinese hackers sniffing out your Unprotected pc. That and Steam will bin Win10 like it did with Win7. So yeah, it’s Linux for you or nothing. Like Win95/98/XP/Win7 it’s all dead regardless of what people bleat on about. They always move on.

Yep pretty much.

Win 11 is not that bad, with a little bit of know how you can kill off anything you want. with 3rd party software you can improve many things like notifications, start and task menu as well as file explorer. I built up a whole negativity of Win 11 based on things I read and my limited experience with it, but basically all negativity or most of it is all BS anyway. My PC is running better than it did on Win 10, I will say.

Linux is not and still is not an OS that is for everyone. It requires constant manual configuration and tinkering. Linux still does not hold a candle to windows in terms of drivers either. So eventually you will come to a roadblock. Take a look at Steam stats. Linux is a drop in the bucket compared to Windows.

That’s it Tom. Experience is all you need. Win11 has been a tonic for me over the last 2 years I’ve had it, it’s as smooth as shit and as fast as shit off an iced shovel! I can lock what upgrades I take or not take. It can’t be forced on me either unless of course they no longer support security (23H2)

It’s not the OS that’s the problem per se, it’s the limited knowledge/intelligence of the people whom use it - or don’t know how to, more to the point.

Configuring Software Raid Within Windows 10 - Most computer users have no need for more than a single drive in their computer, or perhaps a few individual drives if additional storage space is required. There are certain workflows and use cases where features of a RAID – like larger total volume capacity or data redundancy – may be extremely helpful. For large arrays, redundant boot drives, or advanced RAID modes we strongly recommend using a dedicated hardware controller card, but for simple configurations like mirroring or pooling there are options within Windows 10 which can be used without needing special hardware. This guide will cover a couple of those options and how to set them up. (1154 hits)
How To Solve Windows 10 Crashes In Less Than A Minute - Just to be clear, this article deals with system crashes, not application crashes or system hangs. In a full system crash, the operating system has concluded that something has gone so wrong (such as memory corruption) that continued operation could cause serious or catastrophic results. Therefore, the OS attempts to shut down as cleanly as possible â€“ saving system state information in the process â€“ then restarts (if set to do so) as a refreshed environment and with debug information ready to be analyzed.
