The focus here is on laptops. On mainstream commodity desktop hardware, Windows 10 long term support is a lot better than this article suggests. I just threw out a thirteen year old Xeon system (Dell Precision) that had been my daily (updated) Windows 10 machine including Zoom calls and playing NMS until mid Jan 2021. I think I paid about £200 for it 4-5 years ago.
- Nextgrid 6y agoHow do you get the LSTB branch legally (or at least reliably)? Last time I checked, the license price would cost more than the price you paid for that PC. I'm running LSTB on my gaming machine and have to reinstall the evaluation version every 90 days to work around that.
- taffronaut 6y agoI meant long term support in general but I was not specifically running LSTB. It ran vanilla W10 Pro installed by the reseller. I found much later it was not even an OEM license so not a bad deal - effectively the machine was free. The world must be awash with W10 licenses.
