Especially with hardware prices at the moment, this is a welcome announcement for many companies right now who need a refresh.

jmclnx• 28 days ago

And sad for us. We may have to wait for nice cheap used hardware for use with Linux or *BSD.

But I wonder if components would have been stripped out due to AI. I heard even older RAM and SDD/HDD are getting expensive.

Terr_3• 28 days ago

At least in a desktop context, you can get by with just a separate drive to boot-to.

vunderba4• 28 days ago

Anyone who still needs to run Windows 10 for whatever reason should switch over to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (version 21H2) which will continue to receive security updates up through 2032.

LeFantome• 28 days ago

Current trends indicate that regular Windows 10 may as well.

everyone• 28 days ago

Also MS go to great lengths to make the secret good version of Windows (It honestly is very good, I'd put it up there with Linux Mint) very difficult to buy. So just torrent it. It's bad enough running Windows let alone giving money to MS.

shevy-java3• 28 days ago

It honestly is very good, I'd put it up there with Linux Min

I am not necessarily a Microsoft hater per se, but to insinuate that Linux is on the same level as the Microsoft operating system is really strange to me. Whenever I, for instance, have to copy files to windows, I am getting annoyed at how slow it is compared to Linux. And that's just one issue I have. Another one is how slow e. g. ruby is on windows, compared to linux. The windows operating system is simply not good. Linux also has issues, in particular the main GUIs (both qt and gtk suck).

xeonmc3• 28 days ago

You can just use the official iso with Rufus and MAS, no need to torrent sketchy backdoored versions.

osti• 28 days ago

Does that support modern gaming?

vunderba4• 28 days ago

My only caveat is that I’m not sure how it handles multiplayer games that require anti-cheat or DRM-style mechanisms, but it’s been flawless with every title I’ve thrown at it so far (BG3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk, Ori, etc)

eska• 28 days ago

Even Riot’s rootkit “Vanguard” has reduced requirements for Windows 10.

badocr• 28 days ago

It does support "modern gaming" yes, but like the sibling comment mentions, at least Riot's anti-cheat demands Windows 10 22H2 (the last iteration of Win10) as a minimum. There are a few somewhat convoluted workarounds floating around that people use. Also Adobe CS seems to require Win10 22H2.

kgwxd2• 28 days ago

"modern gaming" being a euphemism for "more proprietary software that has chained us to even worse proprietary software for decades".

giancarlostoro4• 28 days ago

There used to be a website something like "windowsserver2008gaming.com" or something like that idr the specific domain, that was literally a guide to turn old windows server OS installs into gaming computers. The golden years.

Grombobulous20• 28 days ago

If you mean “modern” as in technologies like HDR, no.

tencentshill• 28 days ago

Most DRM-laden software requires 22H2 minimum. So no Xbox game pass at least.

avree3• 28 days ago

No, it's for IoT. Don't install an IoT Operating System if you are planning to do normal Operating System things.

giancarlostoro4• 28 days ago

Linux is free and less wasteful on resources on the other hand.

vunderba4• 28 days ago

It is, and if you can switch, it’s highly recommended. I have some pretty bespoke old RS-232 Windows software that was an absolute disaster to get working under Debian with Wine a few years back, so I (and others) might still need to keep a copy of Windows around.

kazinator• 28 days ago

Unless it's some Microsoft version of Linux, of course, in which every keystroke you type performs a docker run ... or whatever.

detritus• 28 days ago

Out of interest, what value do you think that a comment like that has, in a forum such as this? You're not likely to be informing people with information they're not already abundantly aware of.

Whereas the person you're responding to is adding value, for me at least. I am in what might be an edge-case position where I need to run software specific to Windows and, much more importantly run hardware that uses drivers which seemingly don't work on Windows 11 (I only learnt recently, whilst planning to finally 'upgrade').

I couldn't even begin to do what I do, ably and competently at least, in a Linux environment.

And I've had at least one laptop for general use running some flavour of Linux for about 16 years now.

1kurac• 28 days ago

I don't know... laptop-mode and all, my battery runs out pretty quickly.

ericpp• 28 days ago

You can continue using normal Windows 10 if you have a Microsoft account attached to it. They give you the option to sign up for free extended updates (until 2027).

jacobgkau• 28 days ago

...which is exactly what the featured article is about. But 2032 > 2027, so I have to assume the person you replied to already knew that and was providing additional advice.

bee_rider• 28 days ago

Eh, I’m just going to keep using Windows 10 without the account. I’m sure as an ethical company Microsoft will at least distribute patches for any security issues that were present on the day I bought the OS, especially because they are still developing the patches.

wink2• 27 days ago

In theory.

I did that for someone (after jumping through QUITE some hoops) and apparently the next days some popup made the person click the upgrade button anyway.

So yeah, probably just dark pattern + non-technical user but still.

ptx2• 28 days ago

Well, not just anyone can buy a license for it. You need some sort of enterprise volume license agreement, as far as I can tell.

causality0• 28 days ago

If you're considering switching to Win 10 IoT you're probably not in the "people who pay for Windows" category.

thunfischbrot• 28 days ago

Within EU, you could buy licenses from one of the legal license resell markets. For everyone outside of reach of the law, there‘s massgravel.

noxer8• 28 days ago

This is bad advice that is being repeated over and over by the so called tech influencers. You go to an older version that only got security updates so you will lack optimizations and features already in the current stable windows 10. And for the foreseeable future you gain nothing at all. If one day the normal version acctually stops reviving security updates, it almost certainly will be possible to switch the update channel to LTSC and get the LTSC updates that way but for now this is not needed and the switch is unnecessary Also without some trickery, switching to LTSC requires a complete reinstallation, which for most people likely wasting sever hours.

jamesnorden• 28 days ago

so you will lack optimizations and features already in the current stable windows 10

Windows gets worse with each update, so this is actually a plus.

Marsymars• 28 days ago

I wouldn't suggest an old LTSC version, but in a relatively recent update MS stopped allowing non-LTSC versions to not populate the start menu with ms store ads when your search locally. For me, that was the final straw - I switched to the latest Win11 LTSC after that, and it's a decidedly better user experience without the cruft I didn't need or want.

kasabali4• 28 days ago

You go to an older version that only got security updates so you will lack optimizations and features already in the current stable windows 10.

That's some very confident sounding bullshit.

Latest LTSC is 21H2, which exactly the same build as the (non-LTSC) 22H2. The only difference is the feature enablement package. Which means you aren't lacking any optimizations.

I'm not even sure if it's missing any "features", but even if it does, I'm 101% sure it some BS "feature".

basilikum• 28 days ago

You go to an older version that only got security updates so you will lack optimizations and features already in the current stable windows 10.

Good.

This is exactly why people recommend it.

hulitu• 27 days ago

you will lack optimizations and features already in the current stable windows 10

Like improved animations, more wasted space and rounded windows corners ?

oreally4• 27 days ago

which for most people likely wasting sever hours

Yea I don't think you understand who uses windows and for what..

ssl-3• 28 days ago

We had a PC that came properly-licensed with that edition of Windows (with the matching sticker and everything), and it didn't work out as a desktop machine for the intended user. It's been a year or two and some details are lost, but IIRC there were issues with some Intuit program or other.

It was probably something that could have been worked around, but workarounds tend to pile up and become difficult to track. I avoided the problem by putting a more-pedestrian version of Windows 10 on it instead.

noxer8• 28 days ago

Some "bad" coded programs have hard-coded version check and check for the OS name instead of build number, if they forgot LTSC (and server and education) the software will refuse to run on these version. Some reg edits can fix this but its a pointless hassle, there is no need to use LTSC today there are no more annoying updates and unwanted features being added. I have a windows 10 pro machine here running since 3 month 24/7.

avree3• 28 days ago

Terrible, almost consultant-level advice - particularly on a thread about how the actual Windows 10 release is getting extended support until 2027. The IoT release is missing a ton of installed things, such as Microsoft Store Login (needed for Microsoft apps). If you want security updates, stay on your existing OS instead of using one designed for a totally different purpose, and Microsoft will continue to push out the date...

vunderba4• 28 days ago

Not the Microsoft Store! It doesn't come bundled with Candy Crush or Cortana either. Oh the humanity!

Itoldmyselfso• 28 days ago

You can install MS store (not sure about the login though) on ltsc with one command: wsreset -i

QuantumGood• 28 days ago

About $300, and a lot of total install time for this non-upgrade path version.

greenavocado5• 28 days ago

You can get a completely minimalist Windows 11 by grabbing an ISO from Microsoft then reprocessing the ISO by feeding it into this utility: https://github.com/christitustech/winutil (Win11 Creator Tab) to get a NEW ISO which you then install. The end result is an extremely clean and stable Windows 11 installation.

  The resulting image can remove telemetry, bypass hardware requirement checks, and enable local account setup out of the box.

The tool linked by the parent doesn't download ISOs from non-official sources.

greenavocado5• 28 days ago

Did you even read what I wrote?

EvanAnderson• 28 days ago

Do be aware that an autounattend.xml can cause Windows setup to execute arbitrary code. Their provenance matters too. It's relatively easy to encode scripts (or even binaries) into the XML to run during or after Windows setup. You can eyeball them, for sure, but I bet most people don't.

LocalH• 28 days ago

I use uup dump myself, which downloads the components directly from MS and builds the ISO locally

eviks• 28 days ago

That won't help you get to the minimum of Win10, though

greenavocado5• 28 days ago

Yes it will, please re-read carefully. winutil removes hardware checks.

Why would people put themselves through the painful process of keeping themselves safe from their own computer?

StableAlkyne• 28 days ago

Not everyone has the luxury of moving off of Windows. Solidworks, for example, has no Linux or Mac port.

Though I do agree, if your workflow is supported by any non-NT based OS, that's probably a better option

pizza234• 28 days ago

NTlite has also been around for more than a decade, although it has a freemium model.

mawadev2• 28 days ago

What even is Microsoft's strategy? Windows 11 requiring TPM, Secure Boot and being all react wasn't great. Now we have a hardware shortage and ai in everything. I miss the time when it was "My computer" and not "This PC". I just hope they keep Windows 10 around till 2030 and longer...

senfiaj3• 28 days ago

> Windows 11 requiring TPM, Secure Boot and being all react wasn't great.

For me a bigger concern is that Windows 11 requires MS account, and making harder and harder to bypass it. This is a disrespect for my freedom and privacy. The hardware is not the biggest issue because it might catch up eventually. https://waspdev.com/articles/2026-03-12/i-ll-probably-never-...

lazide3• 28 days ago

Also the constant turning on despite my prior explicitly disabling of spyware (memory ‘live sampling’ to the cloud for ‘virus protection’, one drive ‘auto backup’), and features I’ve explicitly disabled like copilot.

It’s creepy as fuck, and for no real benefit to me that I can tell.

RachelF2• 28 days ago

And in order to get the Windows 10 updates in the article, you need to sign up for an MS account, or pay them $30 a year not to spy on you.

Grombobulous20• 28 days ago

Yeah, TPM and secure boot aren’t a big deal at all. I use them on Linux as a security enhancement.

I really don’t know how a no-brainer security implement like that became such a lighting rod.

As far as React being used in the OS, well, if we are arguing about underlying technology there are plenty of flawed implementations to be found on a number of platforms. I don’t think the end user is concerned.

I say all this as someone who does not recommend Windows and no longer uses it, to be clear.

martinjc2• 28 days ago

The average consumer doesn't care about signing up for an account, so that's an easy win for getting them in the email system and thereby tie all the telemetry events to an easily recognizable account. Imagine how valuable this information is.

Now you have system level events tied to a user, that might also purchase an office product and pump out more events.

nosioptar• 28 days ago

I assume they're secretly trying to get people over to Mageia.

The people I've switched from windows to Mageia since win11 all love it.

(As great as Mageia is, it does have small repos compared to Debian or fedora.)

Night_Thastus• 28 days ago

Microsoft doesn't care about end users like you or I. We don't impact their bottom line at all. 0%. They care about business customers using other products, and occasionally data collection.

Windows has to be just functional enough to keep businesses that use it from raising a stink about it.

ChocolateGod• 28 days ago

I don't think requiring secure boot is a big deal given every computer since Sandy Bridge iirc ships with it.

ragequittah• 28 days ago

I also don't think it requires secure boot. I don't have it on currently (Windows 11 Pro).

nomel• 28 days ago

Old versions of Windows always fell out of support.

Some old versions of windows also had newer hardware requirements (95 dropped support for 16 bit systems, Vista required a DirectX9 GPU).

There's nothing really new here.

Lammy• 28 days ago

What even is Microsoft's strategy? Windows 11 requiring TPM, Secure Boot

Their goal is to help their OEM buddies sell new computers despite the fact that PCs have been “good enough” for a decade or longer, because those new PCs will come with Windows and the cycle is what keeps each one relevant.

Otherwise they'd risk being usurped, which almost happened circa 2006 with the one-two-three-four punch of GNOME2 (great UI), Compiz (‘wow’ factor that gets people to jump in and try it), OpenOffice-dot-org 2.0 (when OpenDocument Format was getting a ton of press), and Windows Longhorn/Vista being famously late-and-then-hated. Luckily for Microsoft, the Desktop Linux community decided to throw all that out with Wayland (which is Fine but set us back two decades) and GNOME3 which is irredeemable — *James Rolfe voice* what were they thinking??

They could actually help with the RAM and SSD shortage by extending support for Windows 10.

firefoxd• 28 days ago

I was a ubuntu user and work forced me to use a windows machine. Over the years I've accumulated so much software that I have no intention of leaving behind (photoshop cs2). In the past year though, I've been transitioning back to Ubuntu. So many software now offer Linux support, there's even less incentives to stay with Microsoft products. And of course is doing everything in it's power to alienate us.

shevy-java3• 28 days ago

Have you tried wineHQ? It works very well IMO. But I also understand your point of view here; I have a second computer system on my left running Win10.

New games run really well on Linux. At this point, I don't even check. If it's an online competitive game, I can't play it. Otherwise, it almost certainly will work on Arch Linux

shevy-java3• 28 days ago

I have Win10 on a computer on my left side as "backup" system.

I decided I won't change to Win11, so Win10 will be last Windows version to use. It's no issue in that I am using Linux since late ~2004 anyway, but I am also unwilling to cater to Microsoft anylonger. I think it is time that governments no longer force people to use Windows in general. For similar reasons I reject the upcoming mandatory age sniffing that lobbyists are pushing for (together with their attempt to kill off VPNs).

b3ing• 28 days ago

I wonder if it’s because hardware costs are going up

grouchomarx• 28 days ago

this will probably go on for a long time, which is great because I won't install win11

freediddy• 28 days ago

Why does Windows 11 still have "Control Panel" and "Settings", both of which are similar but entirely different?

I hate Microsoft, I was very happy with Windows 10 but Windows 11 is different for no reason except to be different.

McGlockenshire• 28 days ago

The reason for this is that there are still drivers for old hardware that hook into the old control panel elements to actually function.

If you get rid of the control panel applets, you break the drivers.

This is also an old and out-of-date complaint. Almost all of the settings are now inside the Settings application and only inside the Settings application, with the related control panel applets gone.

fluoridation• 28 days ago

Don't forget the Windows NT configuration consoles like MMC, and other 9x configuration dialogs not accessible from the control panel, like the one to show or hide desktop icons.

AlexandrB• 28 days ago

The old "Windows alternates good and bad releases" rule is dead and buried. Every major version since Windows 7 has been a downgrade on what came before. I'd rather be using Windows 8 than Windows 10 and you will have to drag me kicking and screaming into Windows 11.

This rule was always wrong and stupid, people skipped versions and never started at the beginning to fit the narrative.

"Quietly," like in "has quietly become the biggest/best X" is silly and everywhere, but "quietly" in this sense of "they didn't announce it and people just happened to notice the change" is fine and descriptive I would say.

flerchin2• 28 days ago

Do the start menu ads pay for this? It is conceivable that they could.

You mean do the ads in the Win11 start menu pay for Win10 updates? Or does Win10 have ads in the start menu, too?

Too late. Had to switch to Fedora last year because my machine didn’t support TPM 2.0 and the CPU was one generation older. I know TPM 1.3 is less secure, but I didn’t care in the context of that specific machine. I wish I had the option. Fedora runs great on it though.

silentsea90• 28 days ago

"quietly" is a dead give away for claude. It is everywhere.

Grombobulous20• 28 days ago

The install base is just too high. Microsoft has to support it, or find a way to convince more people to upgrade.

trashface• 28 days ago

The updates themselves can be a driver of new Win 11 computer purchases. My dad got a bad update (I couldn't figure out which one) which froze his computer a few minutes after boot. I had to reset Windows, and it worked again after that, though now the pain is mine because I have to reinstall/reconfig all his stuff. But a normal person without a free tech-support guy like me around might have just bought a new PC at that point.

throwawaytea5• 28 days ago

Funny story, my parents also bought a new windows 11 laptop because of random trouble on their older windows 10 laptop. Used only for a media PC to HDMI out to the living room tv. They control it via wireless mouse and keyboard from the sofa.

The new windows 11 laptop was slower, weirder, and got stuck on some update. So back to Costco it went after 75 days of the 90 day return Policy.

I installed Linux Mint Mate on the old windows 10 laptop and they're happy.

lowbloodsugar• 28 days ago

Folks can’t afford to buy a new computer right now, so M$ needs to give them an alternative to installing Ubuntu and finding out it’s plenty fast on their windows 10 machine.

bluetidepro• 28 days ago

Gaming support for Linux still isn’t 100% there like Windows. It’s still about a 50/50 chance a popular AAA or indie pc game supports Linux.

SmashDan• 28 days ago

It's much less fiddly for games is the only reason for me.

quietbritishjim• 28 days ago

It's nothing inherent about Windows (not even one-click .exe files), it's existing programs and drivers that only run on Windows, which of course only run on Windows because it was already popular.

For me it's MS Office. Sorry, but OpenOffice.org and the Google apps still don't come close. (And of course Office file formats are their own lock in, very analogously to the programs that run on Windows.)

zzrrt• 28 days ago

The lockin is that you buy a new computer, and when you turn it on Windows is there. Like 1% of people have any concept that they could change that or how they would go about it. It doesn't suck enough yet for them to try changing it.

If you want to talk about why not macOS or Chrome, there are different reasons, but of the people buying PCs, that's why they're on Windows.

okanat3• 28 days ago

Forget about web development. All profession-specific software except web and app programming still runs best on Windows. Engineering, simulation, city planning, accounting, complex management, supply chain optimization, media production, statistics. If you're getting paid for some output where computers play an extra-boost tool role, simply being a means to the job, the software you'd use will be on Windows.

If a piece of software is specialized enough that people maintain it for decades, if it has nice detailed and complicated GUIs to handle complex tasks, it will be on Windows. It will rely on Windows' stable API. Those software goes back to 80s and 90s. They have organically grown. Linux kernel requires thousands of developers to keep alive. Linux kernel is much simpler than profession-specific software. Windows Stable ABI allows much fewer people (low 100s) to maintain much more complex software than the kernel.

Even without the stable ABI, Linux is hostile to the closed source software unless that software is served via a TCP socket.

Web can challenge this with Web Assembly and some combination of edge / datacenter computing now. Still quite the way out for demanding things like local simulation and CAD/CAM. There should also be strong economic reasons to throw actually trillions (unlike AI and other SV bullshit balloons) worth of software and entire systems out, not just to spite MS.

The big issue is that my bios doesn't have a way to switch to what is needed to meet Windows 11 requirements, and I would have to wipe my machine.

I was looking for all these hacks, but I need to use my machine for work so I have to stay on Windows 10 for now.

mancerayder• 28 days ago

Too late! Win10 Pro absolutely demanded and harassed me til I upgraded to the dreaded 11. I put up with it for gaming and did registry hack workarounds to stop the stupid web connectivity and TV-like content it was pushing. It wasn't enough. The system was rebooting with updates all the time, messing with my settings I'd googled, and then someone on HN said:

'Linux on the desktop runs Steam games better than ever. Join us, brother.' I installed Fedora Workstation 43, played my games (albeit with a few quirks), but then as a side effect started all these little Linux and Claude projects after I got home from work, which I hadn't done since my 20s.

Thank you, brother!

h4kunamata2• 28 days ago

I cannot see a single reason why Windows still being used within business:

1. Endless security issues

2. Companies have to spend millions of dollars to make it secure, and fail

3. Everything is SaaS nowadays, you just need a browser and fast internet

4. Linux distros can easily replace Windows, no licensing, no dramas, no subscriptions

My guesses is that companies still have Windows because of the support, they can burn money monthly for some other company to provide support when things go bad.

You do not need that for Linux distros, it just works, faster, no matter the hardware age, it just works.

If you are end user, you have even less excuses to use Windows period. Everything from gaming to banking, from coding to 3D editing, work just fine on Linux.

Austizzle2• 28 days ago

There are plenty of popular games that don't work on Linux, a notable example being Fortnite. One of the most popular games of all time.

Games that require kernel level spyware installed???

Good luck getting a Linux user to do make such stupid choice. Giving you a company kernel level aka full access to your operating system just to play a game. Yeah mate, normal people won't do that.

Fortnite?? Couldn't give half care about this game.

If you need Windows for whatever reason, abandon it and switch over to Linux with Wine, Steam or anything else that you really need it for. By now, Windows has gotten so bad, there is absolutely no reason to go to a newer version in order to make it work on existing hardware.

scary-size• 26 days ago

Already switched to CachyOS, haven’t booted to Windows 10 since then. Desktop gaming was my only use, everything else happens on an M1 Air.

It’s a delight, no pop ups, sell ups, Cortana and whatever else MS kept throwing at you.
