It’s no secret that the Windows 11 adoption rate has been pretty terrible. In fact, some sources claim that despite it being officially available now for over 6 months now, less than 9% of desktop users have actually bothered to upgrade to it. – The reasons for this are, of course, quite varied. Some have no idea how to enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Others don’t meet its rather terse system requirements. Oh, and some, rather a significant majority it seems, simply don’t want to upgrade to it. With so many remaining on Windows 10, however, it does still bear note that Microsoft is undoubtedly going to start to get terser and terser in the push for getting people to make the transition. And in one possible such example of this, following a report via BetaNews, it has been confirmed that support for Windows 10 version 20H2 will officially be ending next month. What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, for those people still on that version of Windows 10, if you don’t at least transition to a more recent version, you’re going to shortly start losing security updates!

Thats 1 reason why my PC is still on Windows 7 and staying on Windows 7.
Everything is here, it all works, the hackers have moved on to Windows 10 and 11 and there is enough firewalls and AV apps out there and enough info on how to lock down your system nothing is getting through.

And as I said it all works and does exactly like I need it to do.
The only problems are the new apps like Chrome. They update and bring bugs, thats the only problems I have. If they didn't add bugs I would be bug free.

And there is lots of things that dont work on newer versions so I cant update anyway and stuck here.

Not sure why this made the news.
20H2 is a very old release.
I expected its support to end with the 21H2 release and that seems to be in line with the plans they communicated earlier.
