10 year ago was 2015 mate, that's an outrageous time limit for a product you paid thousands for. If my bike EOLd itself after ten years I'd be livid. Imagine if your car just stopped starting after ten years.

Computers older than 10 years includes the vast majority of computers ever built. It's an insane requirement and it's not one that other OS share.

And the solution isn't hard work for Microsoft, the risk is mine to take if I don't want to upgrade for better secure boot.

Anyway, I migrated to linux for my gaming PC, the last Windows PC I had, and it's going really well. Good riddance.

Bad example. Windows 10 computers continue to work just fine. They aren't going to stop turning on


Roads don't upgrade out cars, but sofiware does.
