I still remember when they used to say "we called it Windows 10 because it will be the last version of Windows"...

As usual, LTSC is the answer.

Apple did the same with Mac OS X, they stuck with it for 16 releases. Then Big Sur came out as MacOS 11.

When I'm forced to use win, I use literally nothing else.

I found it a bit of a pain to upgrade sometimes but boy it's stable!

I wonder if this could be classified as an environmental crime? Microsoft are forcing to e-waste a considerable percentage of the world's computing devices, and forcing new devices to be built and consumed.

And for no reason other than to force people onto Windows 11.

Corporations MUST be held responsible for these actions. If not at the legal level then there must be divestment of Microsoft shares by investment groups.
