10 has only been superseded quite recently, 2025 seems like a very short deadline.
My computer more than meets the minimum spec for 11, and it's a free upgrade, so I'm not too worried, but it's still a surprise.
10 years of support from release is Microsoft's standard. The very first version of W10 was 1507.
True, but that 10 years is irrelevant when you consider the other factors at play here, such as the enforced minimum requirements for Windows 11 and the relatively short time for users to migrate, especially compared to previously with Microsoft. Windows 10 came out in 2015, and users had until 2023 (8 years) to migrate from Windows 8, and until 2019 (4 years) to migrate from Windows 7.
So 240 million potential new Linux devices...? I see this as an absolute win!
Siempre esta la opcion de usar Linux y mantener activos esos equipos
Another way to say this is the master race are about to upgrade their hardware

It's like the old 32 bit to 64 bit jump - care will be needed or a competitor might sieze the market as people get disgruntled over the cost of upgrading.
