I’ve been hearing more chatter about the end-of-support for Windows 10, and frankly, I’m not buying the narrative that it’s simply time to move on. As someone who’s been using Windows for decades, I’ve seen these so-called transitions come and go, often leaving a trail of frustrated users who are forced to adopt a new system before it’s truly needed or compatible with their workflows.
Why is it that Microsoft seems eager to retire a stable and familiar OS, especially when so many enterprise and legacy applications still depend on it? Is it really about enhanced security and innovation, or is it more about pushing users into a new ecosystem that benefits their bottom line? I’m skeptical that the flashy features of Windows 11 will prove to be a game-changer for everyday users, particularly when it might mean sacrificing the reliable performance and customization we’ve come to expect from Windows 10.
What are your thoughts on this approach? Are there valid technical reasons to drop support now, or is this just another tactic to force an upgrade? I’m curious how others are preparing for this change—or if anyone truly believes the upgrade hype.
