    Everyone is making a big deal about support ending but it doesn’t fucking matter anyway. You PC is not going to suddenly stop working you just wont get updates. Considering the updates microsoft pushes now days are loaded with malware and spyware anyway it’s all a wash if you keep using 10.

      The issue isn’t it not working, the issue is security updates no longer being made. Feel free to keep using 10, just don’t put it on the network.

      With the rate of CVEs scored at 9+ that come across all the stuff I manage at work I would not agree.

      It would be foolish to simply stop patching this giant pile of obsolete insecure dependencies they are calling windows.

        A lot of CVEs are overrated, but yeah I still wouldn’t do it. It only takes one.

          I remember you were able to crash someone’s PC by sending them a link to a webpage. This is what security updates prevent and there were even worse ones
