I mean, the real danger is they shove out an update that straight up breaks on your PC, as in won’t boot even in safe mode because it does something with the TPM, and it’ll be your own fault for deliberately circumventing the requirements.
Non-geeky people will generally run things until they actually stop working completely. They don’t care what OS it runs as long as it runs all their shit.
Non-geeky people will generally run things until they actually stop working completely.
Geeky people, on the other hand, may either adopt a new OS while it’s still half-baked, or jump through hoops to keep an old one running long past the point where a non-geeky person would have given up. Some of us do both, just for the lulz. Windows 11 on unsupported systems offers a new and exciting(?) way to scratch the same “can I make this work, just for the hell of it?” itch.
Quite funny how that’s true for the software side, but on the hardware side, geeky people (especially on the foss side) are the ones running things until they accumulate failures to a point that no workarounds will do any good anymore.
That kind of defeats the whole purpose of moving from 10 to 11 though. Stopping security updates for 10 would be like 99% of the point, unless somebody has suddenly found a use for DirectStorage…
HDR is kind of screwier in w10.
But yeah, I use w10, it is the last windows. Maybe if someday I can fully defang w11 I might upgrade. Or backport some bits from w11 to w10 but no big deal.

Just kill windows update and windows update medic service.

You can just stay on Win10 if you aren’t gonna do updates anyway. The solution is obviously linux.
