Famous last words before getting a keylogger that leads to all your bank accounts being drained due to lack of security patches.
Well, yeah. What kind of security do you think normies are running? They won’t even get hijacked by an unpatched Windows 10 exploit, they’ll just try to download The Last of Us by opening “WatchOnlineMoviesFree.exe” when a pop up tells them to.
Business operations will go with whatever is cheapest to maintain, which is the entire point of LTSC and the article in the link.

Well exactly, although let’s be honest: “normies” will downgrade upgrade to windows 11 because they always want the latest greatest thing.

This might be true wherever you’re from (I’m assuming US?) but it’s in no way reality where I live. Here you must use a secure OS for businesses, you can’t just use whatever.
The point of LTSC builds of Win10 is they will keep getting security updates, in some cases until the 2030s. That’s what the actual article we’re all supposed to be talking about is explaining.
So yes, there is a planned solution to keep a secure build of Win10 for businesses for at least a few more years. For that reason. That’s what this conversation is about. Normally I’d chastise people for not reading through to the body of the linked article, but this time it’s right in the headline. You literally could not have reached this post without reading it at least once.

It’s called having a conversation and typically in those people move past the starting point on to other related topics. There’s no need to read malice into it.
Hey, no, no malice read into it and I’m all for having a conversation about the subject. But it’s also true that if we have to litigate the basic facts we’re talking about (specifically, that Windows 10 WILL in fact have purchaseable security upgrades for several more years) over multiple posts it’s just not a very productive conversation, you know? Ideally the chat starts from the actual information being shared in the link, or at the very least in the headline.
In any case, yes, businesses will need to keep getting security updates and they will get security updates for the foreseeable, be it by moving to Win11 where they can or by moving to the long term support tracks for Win10 where the hardware doesn’t support it or it’s cheaper.

Not in the US.

You’re welcome to not answer further, too.
