So many questions…
Will Win10 users be able to upgrade to Win11 for free or will they have to buy it?
What’s the end-of-life date for Win10 now?
Will the minimum hardware requirements be increased?
Will this be used as an opportunity to make backwards-compatibility-breaking improvements?
Are they actually going to fix the whole UI or just 80% of it and leave the remaining 20% as sedimentary layers of previous UIs?
And I really really really hope they fix Teams’ performance and stability issues before bundling it with the OS and running it continuously.

- ehsankia 5y agoGreat link, thanks! Found this unfortunate change deep down: > Taskbar functionality is changed including: Alignment to the bottom of the screen is the only location allowed.
- salamandersauce 5y agoFree. 2025. Yes, 32-bit CPUs are out. I guess with 32-bit mode so goes 16-bit support? Probably not to the last two?
- xxpor 5y agoIIRC 16 bit support was dropped with 8 or 10?
- salamandersauce 5y agoIt still works in 32 bit Windows 10 but you have to install NTVDM which provided as a feature on demand.
