People started panic buy PC:s 2 weeks ago around the world because they think they need Windows 11 instead of Windows 10, now that Windows 10 end of life is at handhttps://nerds.xyz/2025/10/pc-sales-q3-2025-windows-11-upgrade/IDC says global PC shipments jumped 9.4 percent in Q3 2025, reaching nearly 76 million units. Asia and Japan led the growth thanks to school projects and corporate refreshes tied to Windows 10's end of support. North America was the weak link, with tariffs and economic unease keeping buyers on the sidelines even as aging fleets strain under Windows 11 pressure.https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS53855725&_gl=1*11g6ozd*_ga*MTc5ODM3NzA1NC4xNzM5NDc0MTky*_ga_541ENG1F9X*czE3NTk5NDQ4ODAkbzIzMCRnMSR0MTc1OTk0NjAyNSRqNTEkbDAkaDA.*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NTk3MDY5OTIuQ2p3S0NBanc2UDNHQmhCVkVpd0FKUGptTGhBVGdld0gtTi1oNjRCZEQ4UG9hTmRadnV4ODdNYjdhSlR6THhpY0FxMzlTeGhwenYxc1lSb0M5U2NRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTMxMjk5NTQzLjE3NTUyNjk1Mzg.Lenovo kept its top spot with 25.5 percent market share, followed by HP at 19.8 and Dell at 13.3. Apple and ASUS both posted double-digit growth. IDC's takeaway is clear: the PC market is not surging on flashy new features, it is being pulled forward by deadlines, old batteries, and the reality that five-year-old laptops do not cut it anymore.https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/amazon-pharmacy-kiosks-one-medical
>>518421192i will never surrender
>>518421192Everytime i think of getting a new computer i come to the question of what operating system to get and thinking about it makes me so mad i just don't get a new computer
>>518421294I didnt know you can get working web browsers for 8,1 these days
>the daily fuck windows finnbro threadBased
>>518421539FireFox ESR is still supported.Superium or Thorium works too.
>>518421294keep riding that short bus
>>518421192the amount of perfectly fine computers being phased out for windows 11 is huge and prices for computers are only getting more expensive. The only thing you can do with them now is install linux on them i guess. But keeping old windows PC to use offline is fine.
>>518421192what's a good PC desktop brand besides Apple imac? Dell, lenvano and asus?
>>518423088>But keeping old windows PC to use offline is fine.Win95 bros unite
>>518423131One that you chose the parts for and put together yourself.
>>518423131Lenvano, Dehl, Aitchpee, and Aceoos are all pretty decent, yeah
>>518423131Whatever this one is. It has to be tough af.
>>518423088Normalfags love being told what to do>mother buys a new PC>buys news office / business suite (needs outlook apparently)$1,500 all up.. She browses the web and stores a few photos in the cloud.Refused my help. Could've gotten her a 10100F or something ~$200 AUD all up.
>>518423131(this) >>518423193
>>518421192nothing will happen
What new features? This shit has been flat for years.
>>518423345yeah but for 1500 you can get a pretty nice dell or hp for boomer needs. If you can get a 10th gen intel pc for 200 even better. Only problem with these office desktops is they have so many factory problems around the pandemic.
>>518423345also coming up for 1500 you can get a prebuilt like ibuypower for a really good discount this coming black friday
>>518423654DEVELOPERSDEVELOPERSDEVELOPERSDEVELOPERSDEVELOPERSDAILY REMINDER THEY REPLACED THIS WITH AI AND INDIANS
>>518424128>Software which cannot innovate paired with "humans" which cannot innovateA-at least I got to see the maturation of home computing.
>>518423925>>518424033You missed the point. She literally does just web browsing and a few bits and pieces here and there.An i5-2500k + 8GB of RAM would suit her just fine. It's just Jewdows and Jewoffice.
>>518424356>8GB of RAM>W11Anon, I...
>>518424356>>518424033a 2500k CPU is worth 10 bucks, motherboard for it is 5 to 15 bucks and 8GB of DDR3 is nearly free especially if its slower than the fastest speed variety
>>518424356the web browsing is so bloated now though that they can get away with pushing higher and higher requirements. But a big part of the problem is windows is more complex and the kernel is becoming more hardened.
>>518421192I'm stoked to buy used parts off retards
>>518421192Will massgrave stop working after Microsoft ends official support for win10? I should probably download that new win10 version that gets support for another 10 years but I'm lazy and would just use MG to activate it.
Why aren't non-home computers running Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC?
>>518421294Jesus Christ nigger, just use Mint
>>518424747>Will massgrave stop workingIt is uncertain at this point
>>518424747i don't trust massgrave
>>518421192I don't know why you make this thread all the time. Just admit you bought 11 like a fucking goof and are assmad.
>>518421192Didn’t we just do this a few years ago? I don’t remember being forced to upgrade my os until windows 10, but I haven’t worked in IT since like 2005. We definitely had computers running various versions of xp and nt at the same time though.
>>518424794I dont know, it seems all businesses insist on running normal Widnows 10 version for some reasonEven schools do thatI have never actually seen an Enterprise Linux outside of home use of the more knowledgeable personsAnd I work in IT support
My 2012 thinkpad is still going strong on windows 7. Been using it constantly for 13 years with zero problems
>>518424747Jump on LTSC IoT 2021.
>>518424747you can get extended support for a few years but I don't think they will do 10 years
>>518424843Thanks for the thread to remind me finnbro and all of your hard work, I'm looking at their site right now and it looks simple enough to just upgrade my current win10 to LTSC so I'll try that. Gonna be set until 2032!>>518424948Yep looking it up now, I didn't realize the upgrade would be so easy.>>518424857It's definitely (((spooky))) that it works and micro$oft doesn't do shit to stop it, but all they'll get from me is my hentai collection if they're spooks.
>>518421192Fucking hell I can't imagine living life as a windows normie piece of shit.Imagine having to buy new hardware because Bill Gates said so. I mean, they injected themselves with random mystery juice because Bill Gates said so so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but fucking hell. Having a garbage OS blue screening on you at random, littered with ads and slow as fuck, just to browse some JS bloated boomer social media also littered with ads... I can't even conceive this.t. Systemd-free Gentoo chad btw.
>>518421192>tons of win 10 machines will be for sale cheapbased.
I don't know why people still think they need Windows just to browse the web and type documents.
>>518425123Microsoft doesn't stop it because the model of selling software is just side money for them now. They want everything to be subscription based. I don't like it because I would rather purchase a license even a cheap OEM resell than get my windows through a github repository.
>>518424938That's retarded. And insecure. The whole point of Enterprise Windows versions is they're more secure and have less vulnerabilities and better updates because business software is supposed to be secure to prevent espionage.
>>518421192>now that Windows 10 end of life is at handwhy do people repeat this lie over and overwindows 10 officially ends in 2032
XP was the best, but 11 is one of the rare good ones.
Unpopular opinion: 11 is better than 10. AITA?
>>518425344only for those who understand to use non home / non professional version of windows 10 and it seems 70% of users are on those
>>518425266Most based and redpilled processor I had one and it lasted agesChipsets are updated far too frequently now.It's anti-consumer
>>518425385why do you think 11 is better than 10?10 was awesome and I see nothing better in win11
>>518421192>and the reality that five-year-old laptops do not cut it anymoreThat's not reality though. Nobody wants to upgrade their hardware, everything they need runs fine. Windows is forcing everyone to do it. I'm still playing AAA new releases on a GTX 970 ffs. Technology hasn't improved enough to warrant an upgrade, that's why it's being forced on us.
>>518425518windows 10 updated once and completely deleted my network driver for one. overbloat was another issue. they had this really bad tendency from 7 on to slowly become more like a fucking tablet or phone OS that locked you out of customization and command options where my new pc with 11 allows me to fuck around as much as i like.
>>51842551811 Pro has WSL2, windows sandbox, and hyper-V
>>518421294You're a gay retard who sticks his toys in his ass sideways.
>>518421192Gates defeats boomers again, good luck faggots
linux doesn't have this problem.
>>518425644keyword pro, most people have home
>>518425871You can get a legit pro license key for $20 or less
you can still register for security updates after they stop the regular updates.
idk windows 11 just werks for me, though some updates give me lower 1% lows in games
>>518425266A wild challenger appears: (this is the cpu in my file server. built that machine when it came out and was my main gaming rig.
>>518421755It's Linus, now in linux sales team selling Linux
>>518424582I mean, she was still using a 13 year old HDD up until getting a new PC. She didn't mind waiting.
>>518421192Yeah I'm not buying shit or upgrading shit.I use ublock origin, I'll be fine.
