I get the frustration with the requirements, but it is a little dramatic to say those machines who don’t meet the requirements will go straight in the trash. Those machines can still run Windows 10, and a lot of people will just keep using it. Why would people who don’t feel the need to upgrade to the newest hardware as soon as it is out feel the need to upgrade to the newest OS as soon as it comes out?
- HenryKissinger 5y agoBecause Windows 10 support eventually ends, and because of the proprietary nature of the software, independent individuals can't patch their own computer like an official Windows Update can. So those individuals who keep using a W10 machine beyond the end of extended support will be vulnerable to any number of threats if their machine is not air gapped.
- cortesoft 5y agoYeah, and hardware support also ends. Windows 10 is to be supported until 2025.
- userbinator 5y agoand because of the proprietary nature of the software, independent individuals can't patch their own computer like an official Windows Update can. At least for older versions, there have been plenty of unofficial patches for various things, and many of those are open-source too. Patching binaries has been a long tradition in the DOS/Windows world, going back decades.
