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.

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.

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. |

| Sabot | (02:15 AM CET - Dec,14 2025 ) | 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. |

| Tom | (07:09 AM CET - Dec,14 2025 ) | 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. |

| Sabot | (04:51 PM CET - Dec,14 2025 ) | 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. |
