Please don’t. Just keep providing security updates for an extended time and don’t make Win 10 worse with these ‘features’ that are keeping people away from Win 11.
But muh platform growth!?!?! It just needs more AI, that’ll get the people upgrading
That’s the point, make wi does 10 worse so people will update
But W10 likely won’t ever get the “feature” of OCRing your entire workspace and serializing the results to plaintext.
Who knows, maybe it will
Nah. That would require them to retroactively change the hardware requirements for the OS, which they’re simply not going to do.
Another great ploy by Microsoft to increase Linux adoption.
I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.
Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.
Honestly my ability to game has what has kept me out of linux. I trialed PopOs a while ago. I will more than likely switch to it when shit starts getting super annoying.
I set up a second SSD with Bazzite for dual booting, but it’s not practical for me to use as a daily driver yet. I have a Nvidia GPU, and the drivers just aren’t up to par with their Windows counterparts yet. I could tolerate not having HDR, but also not being able to use 2 monitors with different refresh rates at the same time is killing me.
There’s an update in the works that should fix at least the multi-monitor problem, but still no HDR.
Bring back support for Windows 7 and Windows 10 will die overnight.
Windows media center alone is worth resurrecting win7 for.
TF do they mean stubbornly popular? My windows 10 works perfectly fine and I have absolutely no reason to change anything about it. What is this weird ass ‘if you’re not upgrading, you’re being stubborn’ when there is no reason to and windows 11 looks ass on top of it
… said the stubborn person refusing to upgrade.
I was still on Windows 7 until about four months ago when I needed to upgrade to 10 for work. I totally agree and understand your point
Probably a sad attempt at adding “shiny” features to get people to upgrade to 11 once updates are no longer published for 10?
“We’ll get people hooked on these shiny features, 90% of which are not interesting. Then we’ll pull the update rug from under them. And bingo, they’ll upgrade!!”
Probably more like, “we’ll make Windows 10 indistinguishable from Windows 11, at which point people will have no reason to stick with Windows 10” (unless their computers can’t update to Windows 11, like my laptop)
Or maybe I’m just showing that I know nothing about how updates work and that I perhaps shouldn’t be commenting in a technology community…
Technically win 11 has the same main version number to win 10. They’re essentially different UIs with extra features in 11. There’s no technical reason why anything in 11 can’t be backported to 10 unless it requires a TPM (maybe)
Even 11 doesn’t require a TPM if you know what you’re doing.
They’re going to add things that make it worse and slower until you finally get fed up with it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
And last November, Microsoft decided to release a fairly major batch of Windows 10 updates that introduced the Copilot chatbot and other changes to the aging operating system.
Per usual for Windows Insider builds, Microsoft may choose not to release all new features that it tests, and new features will be released for the public version of Windows 10 “when they’re ready.”
One thing this new beta program doesn’t change is the end-of-support date for Windows 10, which Microsoft says is still October 14, 2025.
Microsoft says that joining the beta program doesn’t extend support.
Beta program or no, we still wouldn’t expect Windows 10 to change dramatically between now and its end-of-support date.
We’d guess that most changes will relate to the Copilot assistant, given how aggressively Microsoft has moved to add generative AI to all of its products.
The original article contains 445 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’m not stubborn, I’m just not going to accept a worse version of what I’ve already got.
My set up comfortably plays cyberpunk at dead fancy settings, but doesn’t meet the system requirements for windows 11.
Yeah, I’m going to rub out windows 10 as long as I can (although I dual boot Debian anyway).
That’s why it is stubbonky popular.

How much you wanna bet Recall gets added to Win10 as well?
What’s funny is right at launch I would have seriously considered upgrading, but I’m on second gen Ryzen and that platform was deemed not new enough at the time. Now they’ve added a bunch of BS and even though I think they’ve removed the restriction I’m over the new shiny thing and am looking heavily into a full linux setup.
I recently had to roll back a windows 10 update because as soon as I installed it all of my startup programs stopped starting up at launch. As soon as I removed it, the problem went away.
No Microsoft, you cannot ruin my Win 10 experience to coerce me into migrating. It’s gonna be a long annoying fight.
Stubborn? Windows 11 does not support my older hardware. With no other reason to upgrade, I’m not dropping that kind of cash just for Windows 11.
Regardless, I fully migrated to Linux last year.
Which distro did you choose?
Hopped around for a while and enjoyed Fedora the most. I’m now on Bazzite and love it.
Nice.
Backporting the ads?
windows is now just a joke.
embrace the windows 7
