Windows 11 - Do we want it or can we even handle it?

More to watch on the end of Win10 and what is bad about Win11 (MS doubles down on allowing Local Accounts):

I just had to post this for anyone wanting to stay on Windows 10 for another year.

Is it possible to still keep Windows 10 alive for a few more years?

One more year for sure by just logging in with a Microsoft account.  Enroll in the 1 free year of security updates and log back into your local user account.  That is what I did.

Otherwise, you can try and find a specific version of Windows 10 enterprise edition and get security updates up to 2032.  But good luck getting your hands on that.

Thanks. Ya I doubt I could ever find the Win10 Ent Ed. now.

Windows 11 version 23H2 will stop getting security updates on November 11, 2025. If you’re still running this version, released back in October 2023, your PC won’t receive the monthly patches that protect it from new bugs and security threats after that date.

As it is, for those who did update to Windows 11, it is just like it always has been. There will always be new versions. The lie they said back when they were trying to get everyone over to Win 10 about it being the final and just need updates for security, etc, seems more like a lie now than ever before.

Microsoft rolls out a new Windows 11 update every year, and each version stays supported for about two years. With 24H2 now the current release and 25H2 on the way, 23H2 is officially being phased out. If you’re already on Windows 11, updating is free and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how I checked my version and made sure my PC was up to date and protected.

If you do not do this ... they say:

You'll stop receiving monthly security patches after November 11, 2025 if you stay on version 23H2. These patches protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities and security threats.

Your PC remains functional but increasingly vulnerable as time passes without security updates. Cybercriminals actively target unpatched systems because known vulnerabilities remain exploitable.

No Extended Security Updates are available for outdated Windows 11 versions like there are for Windows 10. The only way to stay protected is updating to a current version.
