That's over 10 years of support. Not bad

I believed that. My conversion Windows 7 to 10 failed. I went to Ubuntu without any problems. I had a lucky escape.

That's just the best case scenario. Few migrated to it in 2015. Windows 10 was sold for years.
Windows 11 initial release date: October 5, 2021.
That's 4 years of support after successor was released.

#7I work at an ewaste recycling company. Just yesterday, I sold a desktop to someone expressly so that he would have supported hardware for Windows 11 in light of Windows 10 support ending.

We just ship everyone the latest beta and let the users do the testing.
That's why we made sure you can't disable telemetry unless you pay up for an enterprise-level eula.
Good luck submitting error and telemetry reports whenever an update bricks your motherboard.
FTFY

99% likely, though I expect it to be for europeans only. At least IMO.
