Microsoft says it will stop supporting Windows 10 in 2025, as it prepares to unveil a major revamp of its Windows operating system later this month. [ ... ] it is likely to include a host of new features, a more modern look and a redesigned Start menu.
<guffaws> Stand by for more nagware!

Wait... Windows 10 was supposed to be forever - the end all and be all of Operating Systems. No need to ever buy another Operating System as Windows 10 would be updated until the end of time. So went the hype. Micro$oft must prevail, money over all things. Glad that Windows 7 still works well enough for me lest that much hyped gyp monkey would have incurred my ire.

Yep, I'm still on Win7 - with all update services disabled. I'd kinda like DX12, but otherwise it does the job.

I haven't tried it myself, but perhaps
ReactOS is an alternative.

Oh, I'm not actually going to start
using Windows. I may be full of Bill Gates's microchips, but I'm not nuts.

I've looked at that a few times, but never actually tried it.
