Sounds like a setup for trouble. Even with command-line hacks, expect headaches and glitches. Microsoft’s patching process is a mess, and chances are, most users won't get it right without support. Gotta wonder if it's worth the hassle.

Windows 10 ist jetzt offiziell tot. Oder sollten wir sagen: untot?

Ende einer Ära 💻 #Microsoft beendet heute offiziell den Support für #Windows10 – nach zehn Jahren, doch Millionen Geräte bleiben weiterhin aktiv im Einsatz.

Noch nicht ganz tot 🔄 Nutzer können ein Jahr lang kostenlose Sicherheitsupdates über das #ExtendedSecurityUpdates-Programm (ESU) erhalten.

Upgrade oder Ausweg ⚙️ Wer die strengen Anforderungen für #Windows11 erfüllt, soll umsteigen – ältere PCs bleiben außen vor.

#Windows10 #support officially #ends today, meaning no more regular security patches or technical support from Microsoft.

'Extra jaar gratis Windows 10-updates is winst, maar blijft te kort'

"Europese consumenten met een Microsoft-account kunnen nog een jaar lang gratis Windows 10-updates krijgen. Dit belooft Microsoft na druk van consumentenorganisaties waaronder Euroconsumers en de Consumentenbond. De Consumentenbond is blij met de toezegging, maar vindt het niet voldoende. Zolang er een grote groep consumenten is met Windows 10-computers, moet Microsoft die ook na 1 jaar kosteloos updaten."

"Consumenten die de gratis updates willen, hebben nog wel een Microsoft-account nodig. Ook dat zou niet nodig moeten zijn, vindt de Consumentenbond. Consumenten kunnen de updates binnenkort zelf activeren vanuit Windows."
