Microsoft pulls the plug on Windows 10… Great, people won’t even notice it. Most will be glad to be less annoyed by reboots caused by Windows update.
“Oh but you shouldn’t use outdated software!”
You’re lucky if an user is even aware updates are important, let alone care about official support. People used Windows 7 years after support ended simply because they liked the visuals and didn’t feel the need to go about upgrading their computers.
Users don’t care. Never did. Microsoft officially sanctioning the product or not is irrelevant. Windows 10 was there when they bought the computer, Windows 10 will remain there until the day they upgrade.
Exactly this. Most people will just keep using it. The people that do know updates are important are just going to buy a new laptop. Tiny % will ask a friend to install Linux on their laptop. Like 15 people will try to install Linux themselves on the day windows 10 dies.
So they’re all just going to spring for new machines when Microsoft pulls the plug on win10?
sadly, most likely yes.
No? Why would they?

It’s delusional to expect otherwise.
Maybe I’ve been hitting the hopium pipe too hard….
