On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10.

 

Ironically, October 14 is also International E-waste Day.

 

You just can't make this stuff up.

 

If they can get something back from you then they can offer you a #free# trade in.....

 

Microsoft will trade your data/privacy for extended Win 10 support. Isn't that disgusting bro @Mr. Fox ? 

 

 

• Use the Windows Backup app to sync your settings to the cloud = Violate your privacy/and data theft for internal usage.
• Pay 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points
• Pay $30 (local prices may vary)

 

The free alternative is for users to link their Microsoft account to the Windows Backup app. This allows them to synchronize/scrape your documents, images, apps, and PC settings with the cloud. The Windows Backup app uses the capacity of OneDrive, which offers users 5 GB of storage space in the free version. If the amount of data to be synchronized is larger, users will need to upgrade OneDrive – which reduces the benefit of the free security updates.

 

“Free” security updates for Windows 10 until 2026

The only thing I can add to this would include vulgar speech that is forbidden by forum rules and would create an undesirably uncouth public image of myself.

Have you something to add in for this? Windows 11 is 2.3 x faster than Windows 10, LOL

 

Regarding increased security....With all the bugs they add in the security claims is not correct. Same as with Nvidia.... You can optimize security and functionality on older products if you give it same love as for the newest and most shiny. Stupids!!!

 

Microsoft claims Windows 11 is 2.3x faster than Windows 10, so upgrade

The company also suggests that increased PC security is another reason in favor of upgrading to Windows 11.

Not only lying but the engineers/marketing teams are just plain stupid.

 

Microsoft says that 'Windows 11 PCs are up to 2.3X faster than Windows 10 PCs', neglecting to mention that it's comparing apples to bowling balls

Windows loses 400 million users in just 3 years and at this rate it will no longer exist in a decade.

Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

Microsoft will use all their dirty tricks they can find. 

 

Windows 10 Will Stop Receiving New Office Features in 2026

 

After August 2026, Microsoft 365 Apps for personal accounts will only receive security updates until the end of support in August 2028.

 

After these dates, your Office apps will remain on version 2608 and only receive security updates until Oct. 10, 2028, Microsoft says.

This appears to be another attempt by Microsoft to encourage users to upgrade to Windows 11. The support page warns users about the performance and reliability issues that may arise when using Microsoft 365 on Windows 10 after the OS gets phased out in October this year.

 

It also warns users that if they face issues with Microsoft 365 apps after October, support offered by customer service will be limited. For example, if there's a Microsoft 365 issue specific to Windows 10, the customer support executives will ask you to upgrade to Windows 11.

Why so many prefer older Windows 10 over the more modern Windows 11 spybox. "Sharing is caring". Share all your privacy and all your data to make the world a better place. If you don't...  Microsoft will help you on the way.

Microsoft's AI Copilot Vision will invade your privacy: it can see everything on your screen

 

The end of Windows 10 in October could generate 1.7 million tons of electronic waste in the form of obsolete PCs.
