Windows 10 22H2 will be the final version of the operating system, Microsoft said in a blog post on Thursday. Moving forward, all editions of Windows 10 will be supported with monthly security updates until October 14th, 2025, when Microsoft will end support. (Some releases on the Long-Term Servicing Channel, or LTSC, will get updates past that end of support date.)
Microsoft is encouraging users to now transition to Windows 11 because Windows 10 won’t be getting any new features.
Now that Windows 11 has been out for more than a year and a half, it’s not too surprising that the company is starting to wind things down for Windows 10, an operating system that first launched in 2015. The company took a step toward moving on when it stopped selling Windows 10 downloads in January, and now, we know when support for Windows 10 will officially end.
So, what you have said is you’re a troll who doesn’t understand computers at all and thinks that he needs a new $4000 computer to read email and browse on Democrat underground.
I’ve got an Intel extreme cpu i7 with 10 cores running at 3Ghz, 32GB DDR3 overclocked at about 1.9Ghz. It’s a workhorse server/dev studio/video production PC and still does everything without issue.
Except Microsoft deems it’s not because they want to force obsolescence.
How “green” of them.
I’ll give that a try, for sure.
Be sure to check your motherboard for an M.2 slot. There are a couple of versions of the M.2 (SATA or NVMe). Your motherboard manual will tell you if you have a slot and which one. My motherboard was a 2015 model so SATA was the right one.
I, too, used Win7 until all support stopped. It allowed me to open an XP window with AutoCAD. That complicated the file structure, though, and I never bothered to learn it. I was able to jump to Win 10, though, and skip 8. That’s when I started using standalone PCs with XP and no internet (and no snooping from Microsoft, even though the software is all legit).
Yep too many things in startup
Fast boot is enabled (counterintuitive)
I have a lot faster boots since I switched to an SSD
Of course I also upgraded from an I3 to an I7 processor.
With the caveat that you are BACKING UP regularly. One good zap and the SSD is toast.
They left off DEATH as the middle word...............
Since the fire all I have functioning is a Surface Pro 5 I got refurbed from Walmart a year ago.
The most recent “update” bricked it for 4 hours of hysterical attempts to get it on again.
I finally did but it was terrifying.
Not booting and when it tried it looked like vid card was failing.
Way outta warranty and I’ve not even paid it off yet.
It’s all I have except for and old iPad and my phone and I have to keep hunting for lost items to submit to the public adjuster and print out.
Any idea how I can stop this?
I got a small thumb drive to download and reinstall the OS if necessary but it’s just more stress to the pile I have already.
My Alienware laptop boots to diagnostics with video card and cpu fan impending hardware failures and I can’t afford to replace that, not knowing what my future will be or whether the house will ever be fixed or not, let alone when.
Any advice or help would be wildly welcomed.
I had a desktop do something similar once.
I’m not familiar with a Surface, but does it have an external monitor port?
If it does, try booting with an external monitor attached.
That’s about all the ‘advice’ I can give at this point....................
Probably and most likely hdmi
I really didn’t mess with it except for designing decals for Cricut machines until the fire and it’s all I had left.
Can’t say I’m really bonkers about it at all, really and all I know is it has 16 gigs of ram and infinite bloatware.
:-/
If it has HDMI, you can hook it up to a big screen TV....................
WebTV again?!?
:D
IIRC, The big screen TV becomes your ‘monitor’, and you can do all your Web surfing etc on it just like a desktop monitor...............
“Windows 7 is working great on my laptop, without annoying updates. My Windows-7 boots up in under 1 minute.”
Ditto. All of our Windows 7 desktops and laptops beat the snot out of the couple of Windows 10 travesties we have.
(I’ll knock wood now. Don’t want to jinx anything.)
“Windows 11 is almost as bad as Vista.”
I didn’t like Vista — until I got a Windows 10 system. then I liked Vista very much and ditched Windows 10.
“The web browsers no longer support XP and Windows 7 they will not be updated anymore.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Each time I did an update on 7, things got worse. I finally restored it to a much earlier date and never did another update.
“I miss DOS 6.22”
I miss WordPerfect for DOS.
When WP adopted the Windows style it lost a lot of functionality that it had in DOS.
I have 2 computers at home. One the Newer W10 boots in less than 10 seconds. The older W7 takes 5 minutes or so. I just use it for back up.
I’ve done that with the Alienware and a really long hdmi cable.
WebTV on steroids.
;D
The tv I had/have (still haven’t been able to check it out due to no power and size) is an LG Smart WebOS and internet built in.
Works yeah but speed isn’t epic.
