Microsoft confirmed security updates for Windows 10 would be extended to 12 October 2027.
Seems Microsoft is blocking or stopped security updates for Windows 10
I tried many times to update.
Seems again, Microsoft is encouraging or pressuring me to install Windows 11.
Any feedback, either negative or positive will be very much appreciated.

Im hearing rumours in the background that due to the overwhelming popularity of Windows 10 v Windows 11 that the system in use today being WIndows 10 and companies are reluctant to change due to variations that dont so a thing for their older machines.
I have tried updates on a few systems in my employ and have ended up reverting back to Windows 10 due to incompatability and interfacing issues.
As such rumours are that the support in Windows 10 for Businesses and Companies is to continue until at least 2030. The overall issues being the TPM security. Which in itself is a chip on a board. I cant recall there being any massive updates for the newer software or platform for the 2.1 version. Problem in this being users are reluctant to having to buy the software then find out TPM doesnt support their new fancy software package.
Bring back WIndows 7
 
The Windows 11 scam was concocted by Microsoft to force sales of new systems with the TPM chip. First TPM (a Microsoft invention) has been around since Win 8 days. Nobody got excited by it including the manufacturers. Then something funny took place. Users were riding all the free upgrades to Win 10 which in effect made most modern systems current to Win 10. Then something odd happened. Outside of gamers, no one was upgrading their current hardware. Why? Because the systems all had enough power to run Win 10 safely and smoothly. So the hardware manufacturers began crying they were starving.
The answer was 2 fold. Microsoft added a bunch of lipstick to Win 10, called it Win 11 and here's the slimy part. EOL'd Win 10 and unless you had really new systems, you needed to buy a new system with the current TPM chip or even though you had plenty of resource on your current system, you couldn't load Win 11.
So everyone lost it. Microsoft is still trying to emerge from the mess they created. It's created a renewed interest in Linux, and people intend to hold onto Win 10. Since 3rd party Internet browsers can keep you browsing secure, in effect you really don't have to run to Win 11.
So let's see how Microsoft saves face with the Win 11 debacle. Stay tuned.
 
Always remember back in the day, 1999 ish, Microsoft gave everyone bugs that came from their server, and then they sold you a giant spyware removal app to get rid of them. Back then everyone hammered the mucrosoft server with attacks until they removed the bugs they created. I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET THAT MICROSOFT and believe they still use these unprofessional tactics to generate revenue.
