Realistically for using Windows there will be three scenarios:
1) You like all of this "AI" "stuff" and you use the newest version of the Windows Operating System.
2) You just want an Operating System that works so you continue to use Windows 10.
3) You use Windows within a corporate environment where the Security and IT teams neuter it with Domain settings to disable most of these "AI" "features".

- daemin 2y agoYou can still use Windows 10 after that date, it's not like it will uninstall itself and shutdown right then and there. If you felt so inclined you can also pay Microsoft for support after that date. Or Microsoft might also extend support based on public demand, given that Windows 10 still beats Windows 11 in install base.

- daemin 2y agoWell Windows 7 users converted to Windows 10 users as it was released before the end of support for Windows 7. The same thing could reasonably happen if a good Windows 12 gets released before the end of support for Windows 10. Though I have serious doubts that an ordinary version of Windows will ever get released. I mean one without bundled OneDrive or "AI" services and without a dumbed down desktop experience.

- thalassophobia 2y agoYou can use MAS to extend that time to 2032.
- kkoncevicius 2y agolove the separate quotes for "AI" and "features"
- rsynnott 2y ago(4) Like many extremely poor Windows design choices over the years, Microsoft quietly backs it out and never talks about it again. Remember Windows RT? Windows 8?
- daemin 2y agoI wish Windows 11 would be like that but it doesn't seem to be this way with the big AI and Azure push.
