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

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)

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

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

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%.
