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

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.
