Using Windows 10 after 2025

[surferboii]

Hi everyone, new member here(experienced Tech Guy). What happens after 2025 when Windows 10 will stop receiving updates? I really like Windows 10’s design and don’t really want to move to Windows 11 (have used it already)

I bet it will be like running Windows 7 now. It will keep working, but no longer get new security updates, and software support will gradually peter out as the rest of the world migrates to APIs that don't get backported to it.

Windows 12 will be out before then, so don't worry. 12 should fix everything and be the new standard, like usual.

So you’re saying Windows 12 will have the option to revert back to old Windows design? Or a new design that I and many others don’t hate?

Yes most likely

Nobody outside Microsoft knows.

 

Just remember, a lot of people said the same thing when Windows 8 dumped Aero Glass for the flat design.

 

And when Vista dumped Luna for Aero Glass.

 

And when XP introduced Luna and made it the default instead of the traditional Windows 98 interface.

 

That's why there are tools like Classic Shell, so the kicking-and-screaming crowd can have their XP Start Menu back. "New Windows includes x and x sucks because it's different therefore New Windows sucks" has been the tech curmudgeon's mantra since Windows 2.0 introduced overlapping resizable windows.
