Security Nightmare for 70% Windows users: Windows 10 will reach EoL less than year from today!
Windows 10 is by far the most-used version of Windows, and support ends soon.
There's really no precedent for this; old versions of Windows (from roughly 3.1 to Vista) were gated mostly by easy-to-understand things like hardware speed and capability, and the benefits of buying a new PC once every two or three years were more readily apparent. All of these factors taken together are setting us up for something we haven't really seen in the Windows ecosystem before: a majority or a large minority of active Internet-connected PCs that will suddenly stop getting security updates, leaving either paid support, a new PC, or a switch to an entirely different operating system as the easiest paths forward.
