ESET recommends switching to Windows 11 as quickly as possible. Alternatively, a Linux distribution can also be a good option, especially for older hardware.
66.12% of Windows PCs are still on Windows 10 in Germany, 62.73% worldwide.

You're viewing a single thread.
Wrt win PCs %, how does that compare to the win 7 to win 10 transition?
The situation is more dangerous than when support for Windows 7 ended in early 2020. Even before the official date, at the end of 2019, only around 20 percent of users were still using Windows 7. Over 70 percent were already using the new Windows 10.
Hardly a surprise, since Windows 10 didn't need new hardware to run. You could install it on anything.
And Windows 8/10 didn't take features away for no reason. (Or at least, they didn't insist on them for too long, with the windows 8 desktop fiasco)
You will take my top taskbar from my cold dead hands Microsoft, who the fuck signed off on this? They actively shutdown any forum threads on it too.
Off to Linux we go.
Other than at work, where I have no choice :(
Lol I tried looking for info online when it was right there ib the article 🤦‍♂️
