You think the US govt will let MS drop 2/3rds of US citizens laptops from support?

I think some senators will hold a hearing to grandstand about security and forced obsolescence and MS will be shamed into extending the support window a couple more years.

Windows 10 is over 10 years old at this point. Microsoft learned from XP It can’t live forever.

Businesses typically lease their machines for 2-3 years so they all support 11. And do you really think the government cares about regular citizens? lol.

They only switched from XP what, less than 10 years ago?

I think the hospital my mother works at was using XP for all of their computers until like 2018-2019
