In a way, isn't this just saying windows 11 is not ready as a replacement? Because fuck me my work laptop drives me nutty, IT hasn't locked down all the popups and I can't fix it withut IT..

"Please you monsters, just pay, our children are getting older, and it's time they moved out and bought their OWN islands off Seattle!"
Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_^
Extended updates always cost money, and this is pretty cheap relative to extended support for previous versions of Windows. I don't understand why it's newsworthy?
Windows 10 is nearly ten years old.
This is like people complaining about how Ubuntu 16.04 LTS support ended not long ago (2021-04-29)
Or macOS 10.9 Mavericks (2016-12-01)
Or Android 6.0 (2018-08-01)
Or Debian 8 "Jessie" (2018-06-17)
Or Linux Mint 17 (2019-07-01)
Or Fedora 23 (2016-12-20)
Or Slackware 14.1 (2024-01-01)
Of all of these, not even Slackware comes close to how long Microsoft has supported Windows 10 post release (2015)

The herd keeps me secure
Please just force me to upgrade to Windows 11 already. I'd love to, but my hardware doesn't satisfy some arbitrary requirements they set for Windows 11.
I thought that too, with the TPM thing
Turns out it's just turned off by default on a lot of mobos. You just go into bios and enable it
Then use a program called Rufus to make a bootable flash drive but without all the shite and spyware, and just upgrade W10 to 11 in minutes
Honestly I put it off for ages because of everyone saying how bad it was, turns out they just don't know how to customise it to their liking
Probably spending too much time trying to get their printer to work on Linux lol

I bet they would be willing to do it right while you are in the middle of something important if you paid them an extra $30 on top of that.
What Windows 10?🖕🐧
