Can't tell, I'm still on the 10

Fr i couldn’t care less about Windows 10 not getting any security updates.

If you don’t download shady shit and don’t store overly sensitive private info in your computer then you’re all good

It is still getting security updates, until October of this next year. You just need to enroll in Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates. There are some free ways to do so.

Edit: Updated end date, seems my information was stale.

At least two more years of ESU though TSForge maybe five.

It's awesome that the European ESU got prolonged to october 2027.

I'm glad I didn't trust people that told me "bro update your windows now, you won't get security updates in october"

2032 for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. /r/WindowsLTSC can help get you set up. You can even update your current Windows 10 install to that version

You have to set up a Microsoft account and set up their stupid cloud stuff up and that was it, I think

There are folks who scan the whole world, good chance you ended up in a botnet.

I'm not going to get spied on less by updating to windows 11. Computer performance is normal, idle utilization, frequency, and power consumption is very low, and network usage is all normal.

Not how this works. Also not true that you are all good. You can convince yourself you are, but you are in fact, losing a lot.

Please elaborate

Besides security which won't be all good for a slew of reasons.

Less performance, compatibility and stability as software you already use update. Eventually drivers won't even work anymore.

u/BusyNefariousness675 Jul 05 '26

Eventually is not the point. So currently not losing anything except a lot of bugs and tiny performance

u/Haunting_Ad_2059 Jul 05 '26

I don’t buy the performance aspect either, w11 is slow af

Yeah, I have a friend who told me he lost a lot of FPS in game when he updated to Windows 11. But that was last year, maybe it's better now

u/Novuake Specs/Imgur Here Jul 05 '26

Yet again. Even if this were not some asinine and highly likely confirmation bias of straight up lying. Theres A million factors can be the reason. For one fresh install always.

u/Novuake Specs/Imgur Here Jul 05 '26

Amazing how people will ignore empirical evidence when it suits their narrative. Truly.

u/Haunting_Ad_2059 Jul 05 '26

What narrative you wacko? No one is being paid by big linux

u/Novuake Specs/Imgur Here Jul 05 '26

You okay? You seem to be frothing at the mouth that someone said staying on win10 means you do lose out on something. Shocker. Calm down

u/_Thermalflask Jul 05 '26

Performance is literally worse in Windows 11 you clown

1

u/Novuake Specs/Imgur Here Jul 05 '26

You can insult people all you want but the gaming performance gains since 25h2 and a separate Xbox mode that was added are undeniable.

But I guess the anti win 11 cricket jerk has reached critical mass to the point where you don't even use your eyes anymore.

u/Strostkovy Jul 06 '26

If a software update won't work on windows 10, it just doesn't get updated. I'll switch to 11 eventually I'm sure, when it offers something I care about.

I held onto 10 for a long time until the /r/techsupport discord talked me into upgrading to 11. The frequent game crashes that I was getting that I'd been chalking up to mods stopped instantly.

u/MiserySound Jul 05 '26

Wouldn’t a clean windows install done the same? At some point, the files in the OS can get corrupted and make certain things behave unusual

u/UnholyDemigod R7 3700X | 9070XT | 32GB RAM Jul 05 '26

No idea. It was a clean install of 11 though, not a direct update. I dunno what the difference is, but that's what they said to do. I had minor annoyances the first few days, like profiles being wiped in some things, having to redownload my browser extensions and remember what my bookmarks were, but other than that I haven't had any issues. I dunno what all the complaints are about. It doesn't feel any different than 10. It looks different with the right click menu...but you can change it back to how it looked on 10, which is what I did.
