For some of us, extending Win 10 is the desired option because Win 11 is a POS and we don't want to use it. I may have to use it eventually, but for now, I'm refusing. I'm seriously looking at exiting the Microsoft environment, I don't like the direction they are heading, especially with Windows.
I heard you can extend windows 10 till Oct. 2026 How?

2025-07-07T17:51:57+00:00 Hi folks : well, we the windows 10 users, that can Not upgrade to Wins 11
because our machines. Doesn't meet the Wins 11 requirements
specifically the - TPM 2.0 ver. Neither can afford to
buy a new PC we've No choice, than pay
the $30 for a year of Wins 10 ESU
Just imagine the amount
of $$ Micrsoft will
get from us
in 1 Yr.
To change that, we should push to ditch, that unaffordable
requirements. Starting with the TPM 2.0 ver. Think about it
Most computer in Wins 10 has a TPM chip with a lower version
-- Why. if we've been protected with, that TPM so far. Microsoft
can Not make an exemption and let, those users to upgrade to Wins 11
Stay tuned. Still 3 months away to Wins 10 - End of support. And anything
could happen. There will be millions of users, who won't pay for the ESU mostly
in poorest countries. So, they'll continue using Wins 10 without security updates
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here down below appear some latest Stats. That was copied, from a Google
search query about the number of PCs operating in Wins 11 and 10
As of July 2025 : Windows 11 has been installed on a majority of Windows PCs
surpassing Windows 10 for the first time. Specifically, Windows 11 is now running
on 51.77% of all Windows PCs, while Windows 10 has dropped to 45.02%.
This means that a majority of Windows PCs have been upgraded to Windows 11.
