Windows 10 Officially Reaches End of Life After a Ten Year Run

It's the end of an era as Windows 10 has officially been decommissioned by Microsoft today and will no longer receive updates or new features.

Yea my work did a bit deployment and updated everyone's laptops to windows 11. Lets just say I was surprised at how seamless it actually was. Got an email saying... "Your next reboot could take 30 minutes welcome to windows 11." (ok there was a lot more but that's the summary.)

Rebooted, it did it's thing..., corrected some layout stuff and I'm back to working no issue.

I got a secondary desktop on Win11 but my primary desktop and my laptop are staying on Win10. I used Win7 way after EoL and Win10 will be no different. On all 3 systems Linux is the primary OS anyways. A bunch of friends and family members are also staying on Win10. One friend moved to Win11 when we built his 9800X3D system earlier this year, just cuz it was a good opportunity to do it, being a fresh new system and all. I'll be moving some of my clients over to Win11 when they get new systems. I doubt I'll be doing many fresh installs of Win10 from here on out.

I had to bite the bullet recently, it took me a minute to get used to it, and there's several things I'm not happy with, but I've learned to like it enough I guess, it is what it is, so whatever, Win 11 onward.

/edit Oh, I will say, I've learned to like it more after I turned off or uninstalled several annoying things, I found some ways to remove some things, disable some other things, etc... and this made the experience better.

It's not even real, it only identifies as windows 11:


After I installed Explorer Patcher in 0.00001ms the only notable difference is that it is more unstable than Win10. I hadn't had a hard lockup in ages, it happened twice already with this.

I was wondering if I was the only one to notice that. I can't remember which machine I was working with recently but I saw something similar in regard to an OS build detail. Basically, underneath it all, 10 is still there somewhere.

because, underneath it, it's still 10, just worse
