      Sure, or just windows 10 even. My custom build still smokes most mid and entry level off the shelf pcs but is ineligible for win11 BS requirements. As a result, my start button is still way over on the left side! What in the hell is the alure of 11 that people feel the need to toss their system? I don’t see it.

        Security updates and general support. That’s basically it

              Please. Save your beliefs for spaghetti monsters and ghost hunting. This sort of thing is better left to facts. Windows 10 will remain fully supported through October 2025.

        I think the “researchers” may not actually have gathered any data on what actually happens in these types of scenarios. beyond people just keeping on with old os which a lot will unless MS intentionally sends out a brick-update.
        lots of countires/municipalities have WEE programmes to try to prevent electronics from getting to landfil - especially until things like batteries and other toxic or dangerous chemicals can be removed.

        Or the headline is pure clickbait garbage - it’s bad enough that i’m not going to bother clicking and read any more filth.
