W10 version 1803 is already out of support, except for the 'Enterprise' edition of version 1803 which goes out of support in November 2020 (10 months from now). -- Kind regards Ralph πΌπ¨π₯ β±π |

You can continue using XP and Windows 7 as long as you want to to satisfy your hunger for old technologies. I said as long as you want to because some of you might be concerned that the hardware will die soon. You can avoid this by buying exactly the same make and model of your current hardware parts and when something dies you simply replace it with what you buy today. Building a machine or to rebuild a machine is not a big problem as some you might think. Just go and buy: Main mother Board of the same model you currently have Buy spare cables just in case needed in the future Buy a hard disk ( or two or three) of the same type you are currently using Buy a floppy drive if you are still using it Buy a spare DVD drive to match your current drive Buy spare floppies and CD/DVD media for future use Make copies of your current software package media - CDs, DVDs, Floppies etc Make hard copies of serial numbers And finally create an image of your current hard drive and save it somewhere safe if needed in the future. Of course, you need to keep all these purchases safe so that they are not damaged. you'll need them in 20 years time to continue using your beloved XP and Windows 7 operating system and related software packages. You might not be able to use any websites but hey it is not important as long as you've got your XP and Windows 7 still running. Problem solved. Now print this out and read several times so that you can memorise it!!!!!!!!!!!! Now stop crying about these things. -- With over 1.2 billion devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

And IMO, it's also one of reasons why they skip from version 8 to 10. Just to keep pace with Mac OS version number. Including skipping kernel version from 6 to 10, which technically don't make any sense. For me, Win10 kernel maturity is still at around v6.4 or v6.5. There's still not enough significant changes to be considered as v7.0. Everything is just for the sake of marketting and profit. |
