Microsoft MUST provide Windows 10 updates for at least another 10 years

The US or EU governments should force Microsoft to provide Windows 10 updates for at least another 10 years.

When Microsoft stops providing Windows 10 security updates, millions of computers will turn into toxic waste overnight.

And the people most affected will be the poorest, who don't have enough money to buy a new computer with the hardware requirements for Windows 11.

They must realize that there is no Planet B for us.

This is too much greed and indifference on Microsoft's part, and too much shame for MS, when it ends support for Windows 10 in 2025.

I hope greed doesn't win and that Microsoft continues to release updates for Windows 10 until at least 2035.

Windows 10 iot enterprise ltsc 2021: supported until 2032
Works on any pentium 4 64bit (2005)/ athlon 64 (2003) pc and later. That will be 29 year old hardware by then.

Windows 11 iot enterprise ltsc 2024: supported until 2034 (almost certain)
Works on any core i (2008)/bulldozer (2011) (-early celerons/pentiums). That will be 26 year old hardware by then.
(no tpm/4gb ram/uefi/secure boot required for windows 11 24h2) (popcnt instruction required)

We already have 8-10 more years.
