Of course, most Windows 10 PCs don't have the newer hardware to upgrade to Windows 11. They are stuck at 10 and when support runs out it will run out.

Doesn't seem to be the case anymore: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42369757

You mean 10 months of free support remaining.

Pretty sure there is going to be an option to pay for additional support duration even for home users.

And there is an edition of Windows 10 that is supported until 2032, so it's not like they aren't still doing security patches anyway.

I would be willing to bet MS may even decide to extend the free support duration. But if they hold out on making that decision until the last minute, they can still persuade more users to switch to W11. So if they are going to extend the free support, I wouldn't expect to hear about that until much closer to October.

IoT LTSC is supported until 2032

I don’t think you can run the IoT version for general purpose use. Also if you’re using windows on an IoT device…

Enterprise IoT is "binary equivalent" to Enterprise.
