Windows 10 support ending

Quote :

Windows 10 running out of road for support is going to be something of an environmental disaster in terms of old PCs going into landfills, an analyst firm has warned.

Canalys wrote an article on the state of the PC market and Windows 10’s end-of-support date, which rolls around in October 2025 – still some way off, of course, but getting closer all the time.

The core issue here is not just support coming to an end for Windows 10 in just under two years, but that the hardware requirements for Windows 11 – ruling out PCs with older CPUs, and machines that lack Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 security functionality – mean that those computers likely won’t be recycled either.

Anyone still using Windows 10?

Windows 10? Yes. One machine.

Windows 7? Yes. One machine (this one).

Windows XP? Yes. Two downstairs, one still in regular use, one in occasional use to play a game I like.

10? Not yet...

Same.
And XP, two 98SE and a 3.1

I'd forgotten about the old toughbook out in the camper that is Win 2000.

And I've got an even old machine somewhere that did still boot with 3.11 on it.

My main computer in my office is a desktop and Windows 10.

My guest computer sitting out in the TV room is a Windows 10. But my main laptop is a Windows 11.

The rest of my desktops, laptops and tablets are Linux.
