They're already ending support for windows 10? (hexbear.net)

I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?

I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.

Yes, MS is getting more aggressive in their end of life terms for the general availability channel releases (Home, Pro). Use Windows 10 LTSC (EOL 2027) or Windows 10 IoT LTSC (EOL 2032) to avoid this.

Download the one you want from here: https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

Optionally, you can customise the install media using NTLite if you want to automate customisation/debloating. Test in a VM first before deploying.

Once installed, activate using https://massgrave.dev/ using the HWID option.
