Most people won’t budge. It doesn’t matter if Win10 is unsupported or isn’t getting a security update, I reckon a solid 40 of 43% will just stay on it until programs they use stop working.
Yep. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but valve dropping support for windows 7 was what made me switch to linux. Until the computer stops working for the average user, they won’t change.
Yep, I feel like people overestimate how much anyone cares about official support or security patches or whatever. People will assume it’s fine until they’re either forced out or something goes horribly wrong.
Regular folks will most likely let it be if possible, until it’s time for a new PC anyway.
Basically my plan until I can scrounge enough money up for a new computer. My current one literally won’t let me upgrade due to some component/driver it lacks.
For some of the hardware requirements, there are edits you can make to get it to install, but you do have to also force it every time there is a major release, minor updates go through fine.
Yeah I’m just going to stick on Win 10 for a while. Apparently the enterprise version is getting support for longer so maybe I’ll see if I can get on that.

My brother in law was still using windows 7 and it had never occurred to him that this might be a security risk. Normal people don’t care.

It’ll let you upgrade to Linux. It doesn’t play those stupid games with you like MS does.

You can pay to keep getting windows security updates and prolong the upgrade even further.

W10 IoT is a thing, and will get updates for a few more years, no mafia shakedown required.

I predict Valve will stop supporting Windows 10 in probably another 3 - 4 years at most.
