My company has absolutely no plan for the end of Windows 10. I bet they'll rather throw money at MS than come up with some kind of strategy.

In a way, isn't this just saying windows 11 is not ready as a replacement? Because fuck me my work laptop drives me nutty, IT hasn't locked down all the popups and I can't fix it withut IT..
"Please you monsters, just pay, our children are getting older, and it's time they moved out and bought their OWN islands off Seattle!"
Extended updates always cost money, and this is pretty cheap relative to extended support for previous versions of Windows. I don't understand why it's newsworthy?
Windows 10 is nearly ten years old.
Anyone still defending Microsoft at this point has cognitive dissonance and deserves what they get. Seriously people - just use Linux. And for the 1% of you that can’t get that 1% of your programs working in Linux - just dual boot.
It’s like people forgot how to use computers.
What am I dual booting if I can't use win10 because it's not secure, and I'm not paying for win11?

Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_^
Sounds like they're about to get sued by the EU because they're basically asking you to pay again for a product you have already paid for. Discontinuing a service that was advertised as the "last windows you'll ever need" is one thing, but sending you another bill on a whim is something entirely different. Microsoft might just have ensured the longevity of Win10 for the foreseeable future without making much if any profit from it.

What Windows 10?🖕🐧
Please just force me to upgrade to Windows 11 already. I'd love to, but my hardware doesn't satisfy some arbitrary requirements they set for Windows 11.
I thought that too, with the TPM thing
Turns out it's just turned off by default on a lot of mobos. You just go into bios and enable it
Then use a program called Rufus to make a bootable flash drive but without all the shite and spyware, and just upgrade W10 to 11 in minutes
Honestly I put it off for ages because of everyone saying how bad it was, turns out they just don't know how to customise it to their liking
Probably spending too much time trying to get their printer to work on Linux lol

The herd keeps me secure
I bet they would be willing to do it right while you are in the middle of something important if you paid them an extra $30 on top of that.
