Windows 10 -> 11... or not ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I should have mentioned that the first person who mentioned Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC to me on Free Republic was “Still Thinking” in a thread that I posted in February.

Windows 10 has a year (8 months) left to live – but are users prepared to upgrade to Windows 11?

I am kind of the Chicken Little of Free Republic when it comes to Windows 10s End of Life event.
