20 days until windows 10 is defunct
Factually incorrect. The pleb nigger cattle versions of Windows 10 will be discontinued. Us enterprise chads will keep enjoying free updates until 2035.
I will NEVER install dilatix.
>>106684561where can one get enterprise 10? my friend wants to know
>>106684541Still not leaving windows 7
>>106684775it does fine without updates?
>>106684541Realistically, what will ACTUALLY happen?
>>106684788Yes.VxKek is a translation layer and I can run just about anything.I've always blocked updates anyway. Never had an issue.My phone is still running android 9.
>>106684788it absolutely doesn't, don't trust anyone who says it does. I can't even plug a wired 360 controller into win 7 pc without it sperging out about some fucking signature and how it refuses to install driver from a god damn microsoft itself
>>106684825>I can run just about anything.DX12 games/software?
>>106684733I hear a man named Google can tell you where to find such elusive sites which will supply you with what you are looking for. Seek him out, he knows the way.
>>106684833so it's as finnicky as linux and has most of the same issues? i just went to cachyOS and have been enjoying it so far. microsoft is turning their operating systems into another microtransaction filled advertising platform with godawful resource management. i just want to browse the internet, make office documents, and maybe listen to some music. I'm in my 30s though so i don't sit around and torrent stuff and make playlists and play vidya like i did when i was in my teens and 20s.
>>106684833>windows but with the bugs and incompatibility of Linuxhome
>>106684905i miss XP so fucking much its unreal. you had complete control over every fucking setting on that computer without touching the command prompt as long as you were willing to play advanced settings explorer and either knew what the values you were changing were or had to learn what they were after you fucked it up. i want to go back bros.
>>106684565you don't have toI wonder why so many people here are constantly worried about things that don't actually concern them.
>>106684541Don't careNot switching
>>106684835Some games work. Elden Ring and some AAA PlayStation port. Tbh I don't play any modern games anyway.
You can enable 3 years extended updates, check the Windows thread.
>>106685140>>106682084will this hack my pc?
>>106684733Seriously? Do you even /g/?>>>/g/fwt/ - Friendly Windows Thread
>>106684541last windows that i had to used outside work was windows 2000
>>106684800YEEEEEEAROF THE LINUXDESKTOOOOP
>>106684942Linux is the path you seek my friend.Start with Mint
>>106684800Same thing that happened in the end of windows XP and 7 lifecycle. It will slowly stop being supported and security issues won't be patched by microsoft. You can still use them, but most SaaS and other softwares's latest versions won't run on it, either artificially (by detecting that windows 10 is installed and not running) or simply because it needs a resource that only 11 has.Eg: DirectX 9.0c was the latest, official supported version on windows XP. If you wanted to use something that only supports 10 and up, you would need to run said program under windows vista or, preferably, 7. I remember this quite well because that was a limitation that happened even before the end of XP's support.
The end of 32-bit support is also happening. Steam, Firefox, LibreOffice and Windows 10. Seems to be a bigger deal as a lot of embedded and older hardware will need to be replaced.
>>10668454120 days until I install Arch Linux (which I use, BTW).
>>106684835>DX12 games/software?>Using DX12>Willingly>when Vulkan (formerly: Mantle) shits on DX 10+ from a great height since 2015LMAO @ UR LYFE.
>>106684541By defunct you mean 'won't get the latest malware and spyware from MS'
>>106684541The EU just forced Microsoft to allow enrollment into one additional year of free security updates for all consumers.Only requirement when choosing to enroll is to one-time sign in with an MS account, as that's how the whole license grant for extended updates works world-wide. But you don't have to connect the MS account to Windows or keep yourself signed into it afterwards. You can just continue using a local account. You don't have to entrap yourself into any of their cloud services such as activating Windows backup with a Onedrive cloud-target either.
>>106688201 (cont.)This agreement with the EU allegedly has been in the works since 2021.Explains why MS started the rollout of the extended updates program as late into the game as they did.They very likely wanted to goad as many EU-based Windows end-users to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 as possible, before revealing they could just stay on 10 for a whole year longer with no issue whatsoever - basically for the low-low price of a free throw-away one-time-use MS account.
>>106684833>360 controllerbecause the 360 is from the windows xp era. in xp, microshart let anyone sign their own drivers. from win7 and onward, you had to pay microsoft 1000$ to sign the driver, and microsoft didnt sign their own old drivers for win7.if you really were a win7chad, you'd know that in order to make xp era controllers work, then you would have to download x360ce_x64.exe
>>106684833you are lying
>>106684942that was it. we had too much power apparently because retards didn't know what they were doing and would literally fuck everything up in the system. thus we now have guard rails and training wheels for modern os's. people are just too dumb apparently. but yes xp pro was one of the best eras.
>>106684541>Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC2032 isn't in 20 days
>>106684775this is the way
>>106684541it was defunct from day 1 due to it being a steaming pile of shit, and I'll keep using Windows 7 for years to come.>>106684775>>106684788it does fine without them, and I've had them disabled since even before they stopped sending out updates anyway. But you do have to do some hacky shit sometimes to get programs to work again. Most programs that stopped working on 7 stopped working because they detect the OS and just decide to quit. Lying about OS version to those programs fixes most of them.
>>106684561pleb version still have ESU support till 2026.
>>106686624Those were already pretty much dead by the time support was cut though. Windows 10 still has like 45% of PC users, many of which can't upgrade to Windows 11.
>>106687291Barely any games natively support Vulkan. They're mostly either DX11 or 12 only.
>>106684541>not using IoT LTSC 2021
>>106684541Oh no microdick bros, what're we gonna do???
>>106684541Nope, still not upgrading past XP.
>>106684800Big bad 3 letter agencies will deploy their undiscovered and unpatched W10 0-days they've been hiding for years and they'll hack your computer
I'm bracing myself for the dozens of messages from family members asking why their computers have stopped working
>>106684942I got this book from the library when I was a kid. It was full of tips on how to rice your Windows XP machine. Pure kino.>>106685178Are you retarded? Massgrave is opensource and hosted on Microsoft own Git repository >>106688040This. October 14th is the day W10 finally becomes usable >>106692374Won't happen. Literally nothing happens to their PC come October 15th. For those family members that are nice to you, you can always take 5 min to enable ESU for them.
>>106693618>opensourcethat doesnt mean anything
>>106684541When a program is no longer supported (operating systems are programs) then to copy / crack it is not piracy any more. Think about it. :)
>>106694109I guess that's true if you're too retarded to read the code
wow rly?
>>106695377That's completely false in every case.
>>106684541I already switched to Linux last year lmaohaven't had a single problem
When Windows 10 came out, Barack Obama was President, Vine was popular, and we all drove in our gas cars to work in an office every day.
>>106684800Nothing, in fact they recently announced a one year free extension of security updates if you authenticate your product key with a microsoft account.I am guessing after that they will nag software vendors to drop w10 support to try to force the switch to w11, and/or turn on some really annoying nagware on all remaining w10 systems.
nothing, you retard
europoors get a year longer free updates™ if they are good goys and use a Microsoft™ account
I have Windows update services disabled anyway

Just give me steam OS already and I'll gladly ditch 10, I'm not moving to 11 because I'm not enabling secure boot or tpm on my mobo.
i dont care boo hoo its the same as windows 11 anyway
>20 days until im no longer pestered to update all the fucking timegood
>>106684800People will bitch about Windows 11 and threaten to switch to Linux but will eventually give in and update to it like they did with Windows 10. Linux will continue to remain irrelevant for desktops.
>>106684800Nothing. Ever.Normies will keep using windows 10, they have no idea about EOL

>>106684800Literally nothing. Even if the OS itself doesn't get "security updates'" anymore, the browser and antivirus will, which makes it more than enough protection for average use. Just don't be a fucking idiot downloading and running shady shit.
>>106684561https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-enterprise-and-educationdid you mean LTSC?

>>106705804Fine, I'll just upgrade to Windows 11 then.
>>106684541just use tsforge and get updates for several more years

isnt win 11 a huge spyware even by microcuck standards? what happened with recall feature?
Windows 11 is just too cucked. I think I will just use LTSC, that still has 10 years of security updates. Good enough for meEven if all versions of W10 were to be discontinued, I think I would still keep at W10 partition for games then use a linux distro for regular online usage
>>106708239You can turn it off. For now. And maybe in the future. Maybe.Basically you should really give non-windows OS a try, because it's clear what trajectory Windows is on. Ideally linux, but mac is still way better than windows when it comes to spying on you, shoving ads down your throat and generally monetizing your ragged as as much as humanly possible.

I use LTSC at home and even if i didnt, a product being at end-of-life doesnt mean it just stops working. i just cant call up MS support anymore (which i never did or would do anyway)

>>10668480095% of normalfags own an iPad, they only buy W laptops when they need to use a program not available for ios.Out of habit I recommend 1TB C:\ if the next version of W can be dual booted. Simply allocate 463GB, 463.5 to two partitions and leave the second one unused for the future version, then you can keep everything as is, minus disabling networking when out of support.
>>106697774What do you need from 11 that is not on 10? I can only see vendors arbitrarily requiring 11 if they use expanded libraries.
