    Why is that a “big worry”? Windows 10 was released in 2015. So 2025 would be over 10 years of support. That’s a more than valid amount of time to support an OS.

      The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don’t meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

          Yeah, that’s true, but many people will wonder “Can I still be able to access the Microsoft from a Linux?”

            “the Microsoft”

            That’s a great way to show how those people think.

            Having said that; yes. Yes, they can access the Microsoft. Not that you should want that, but you still can.
