Local well known Computer shop offering to Sell you a new one with free upgrade and a very very Small Trade in on old one almost Robbery.

as long as your machine has TPM 1.2 then you can upgrade with a reg hack M$ gave out. It most certainly is not a money grab from M$ imo

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yes but thats ok as long as you are capable of doing the Hack most will not . they can get it done but who by at what cost . a bloke in the pub etc? i see a scam coming

Too many still on W10. I'm certainly not throwing away a good pc to 'upgrade'.

People should be careful taking any updates at this point.. I wouldnt put it past M$ to send out stuff to make the PC not work as well to try and force ppl to the newer OS! (They have done stuff like that before)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yes same, I hardly use the PC now so it's staying on Windows 10.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

There has never been anything stopping anyone on windows 10 from upgrading bar the few on an older AMD apu that might struggle with GFX drivers. Only ever seen this once out of loads

imo the only thing they are patching now is exploits found in the last update and historic vulnerabilities that have been there a very long time and only just found

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Well I was considering "Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC" but in order to get that, it's expensive and iirc still requires the "we want to sell your data" account aka a "Microsoft account".

I have now installed Nobara Linux and giving it a shot, the only thing that will cause me to go back to Windows at this point is if I cannot get the games I want to play to work without issue or lower performance by more than 10%.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yes, exactly it’s ‘security updates’ only, to patch known exploits, certainly no new features -which might not be a bad thing, no copilot rammed down your throat.

I’m sure I read a report which claimed that some 17% of PCs were still on Windows 10, which I think is a low estimate.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

According to Statcounter these are the numbers from June 2026.


Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide - June 2026
Win11 69.92%
Win10 28.1%
Win7 1.67%
WinXP 0.17%
Win8.1 0.09%
Win8 0.03%



Desktop Operating System Market Share Worldwide - June 2026
Windows 56.61%
Unknown 21.45%
OS X 11.89%
macOS 4.48%
Linux 4.36%
Chrome OS 1.21%


There is some questions being asked by PCMag and others though because of the "Unknown Os" and apparently it was removed but it still shows for me.

Microsoft are now installing spyware on PC's on behalf of LG and it does it without your consent.
