So I saw this article talking about how windows 7 might get its ESU extended to 2026.
the article mentions that an update guarantees support up to 2026 if you have the license for it.

Old News; Read this post and everything below this post:

Win 7 still has a significant market share of OS's. They also added ESU updates for Win 8.1, even though it has the least market share there is.
Win 10 has the most market share for only one reason: It is the most installed OS on NEW systems. MS gives the OS to OEMs for about $10.00. It's really sad when people buying new computers using Win 10/11, are looking for ways to DOWNGRADE to Win 7. I read this on every forum out there.
My Opinion: Win 10/11 sucks as much as Win Vista/8.0/8.1. Hell, throw Win ME in there too.
Last Agustus Update KB5016616 Boot Fail for windows 10 cause my laptop to boot loop, and in process of attempt of repair, it delete the main user folder on C:\Users, I quite devastated when it happen, at least about 50-60% of the data are backed up on O365.. just the time running out, OneDrive on Windows 7 already stop getting update,, no on demand files on Windows 7.. etc etc.. it's really really sad to see, to see this happen... I really hope MS stop pushing bad update, and kept being stable all the time like on Windows 7.. well Windows 7 stable because all the feature, all the need are there... and it's enoughh :')
uh this guy runs Win8.1 and that one works well on his computer
and won't be putting win10/win11 on there
