Windows 10 is coming up on 10 years old. Things can't live forever.

MS learned that from XP.

I recall them saying Windows 10 would be a rolling release and it would be the last one you ever had to buy. Could be wrong though. I don't pay much attention because I haven't used it since Windows 7. I don't have a link to back this up, just my hazy memory.

You are wrong. Some random guy said that on Twitter and people ran with it. It was never officially stated by Microsoft.

Here are three sources reporting that Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon announced it at Microsoft's Ignite conference in 2015. They announced the transition to "Windows as a service" model, and it is also reported that Satya Nadella described this as a "new era" for computing.

I don't have a link to a Microsoft source, or the original video/audio, but the sources are reputable enough that I'm sticking with my original statement.
