I use Windows 10 and my computer is too old to be upgraded to Windows 11, so I guess I will stick with Windows 10 for good.
You’re going to have to upgrade eventually, unless you don’t want security updates, and your antivirus will stop getting updates too. Your computer won’t immediately explode, but it does become a ticking time bomb.
When Microsoft kicks out the version from usage, you will eventually give it up but you still have time now anyways.

Which is apart of enterprise versions usually.
You got 2 years.
Could always go Linux, I'm thinking that next.
You have to explicitly pay for it, it’s not packaged with Enterprise.
It still has 11% market share.
Seems like a slim margin to me and Windows 7 and 8 can't be supported forever!
Yeah, sure thing. There's always an alternative to pick up.

If you miss the OS then run a virtual machine when you have the resources.

True, would think there be a Windows like flavor of Linux by now.
