0patch Offers Additional Windows 10 Security Updates, Extending Usage Until 2030

Well, the local account thing for individual consumers if it becomes fully mandatory for W11 and or 12.

That's another topic and that's a big if

As if the alternative of running with no patches beyond 10.2028 is better?

Actually, the better alternative is to upgrade to Windows 11 for free and then pay the Windows 10 GUI paid mod like Start11 or Startallback.

But trust debloating tools to alter your Windows install.

Obviously only trust open source debloating tools and download the official ISO from the MS website.

Windows 11 is better than 10 in my opinion as long as you debloat it with something like WinUtil and MicroWin

My OS is great, I just had to remove half of it with third party tools, trick it into allowing me access to my local account, and have to keep an eye on all future updates! SOOO much better then the OS that just worked!

Two of your points also apply to Win10.

Hardware requirements for 10 and 11 are the same minus the TPM which you can bypass

It's not the TPM, but the "support list" (like ryzen 2500U supports tpm2.0, but its still a not supported CPU for whatever reason).

Microsoft will still be developing updates for another decade, they just wont be released to the consumer builds (without the extension subscription).

Correct. The longest supported edition should be Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 edition that is supported until 13.01.2032. So ~7,5 years but not quite a decade. More applicable (for normal users) LTSC Pro version is supported until 2029.

A lot of comments saying sh1t here.
0patch is a great solution, and indeed works. It doesn't patch every single and all vulnerabilities, but those critical and/or with most probability of being exploit and/or easy to exploit.
I have licenses running on some "critical" Win11 as another layer of security, and in legacy servers that can't be replaced right now.

You should move to other OS, but, If you will keep your Win10 after EoL, I really recommend 0patch.
