Forcing users to ditch WIndows 10? I can't help but feel like this is a giant media campaign by microsoft to make people switch to Win 11. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. I can still use Windows XP if I want to.
Corporate users will find it unacceptable to use an OS without regular security updates. Individual users will do whatever they want as per usual. Unfortunately without the security updates, the average Windows 10 user is going to be less and less secure over time, although MS will undoubtedly patch major things.
