I’ll save you the wait. It’s 1 with quite a bit of 6.
Normal people just don’t need PCs that much any more. Nearly everything that people did on a PC you can do on a phone.
If you can’t do it on a phone, then it’s usually called work, and employers can replace things as needed. Although we’ve still got customers using variants of Windows XP, so don’t hold your breath. Some employers just aren’t beholden to higher ups that demand security audits.
My bet is that they are gonna surrender and will remove restriccions to W11.
I doubt that a non-it person gonna install Linux, at least that, some companies decided to resell old~ computers with linux preinstalled that’s the only way
The paid extended security update program is going to run until 2028, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is going to have extended support all the way until 2032.
They have stated that ESU is going to be available to consumers as well, though not for how much - but somewhere between the $61 of the commercial, and $1 (really) of the education license, with the price doubling every year.
6 is becoming increasingly more common. Anecdotally, almost all of the gamers I know use consoles and have a phone for all of their “computer needs.” One of my friends probably wouldn’t even use his if it weren’t for VR Chat.
EoL doesn’t mean it will stop completely; people will probably keep using it till they can’t anymore, like pc becoming too slow or their home banking site not working.
I doubt the os switch is happening too, some will probably switch but that will be a small amount, either they get Linux or afaik all other “popular” options require new hardware anyways (Macos)
I think many will just stay on windows 10 if their hardware doesn’t support 11 but ehh
Difficult to say, that’s why I’m waiting on the EOL for headlines like “millions of pcs vulnerable due to missing updates” or “maybe we were a little hard on crowdstrike”
Linux has been gaining market share, it’s at 4.5% or so, it’s not much but just until recently it never even hit 3%
Maybe Valve has something to do with it but who knows… I think we will see a bigger jump and it will start being as common as os x or something… I plan to switch and have been trying out different things
I’m just waiting for the EOL of window 10 to see which of the following will happen:

My money is on MS kicking the can down the road and adding another year or two to the support last minute, then not fixing any of the issues with 11.

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 Or won’t take long before it gets too expensive at that rate
1, 2, 4. Then it’s 2028 and ESU ends. No idea how the pricing for the IoT long term support thing is done though.

I’m a computer gamer but my kids like Xbox…they’re switching to Linux steam big picture mode.
Or Win10 IoT LTSC till 2032
240 millions PC will become e-waste if Win10 reaches EoL
EoL doesn’t mean it will stop completely; people will probably keep using it till they can’t anymore, like pc becoming too slow or their home banking site not working.
Sounds like homelabber paradise is headed for eBay
I don’t see the os switch happening unless microsoft stops existing in its entirety.
Abandoning home PCs could be a thing I guess, but i feel like that would happen either way for these people
