Windows 10 Support Ends 2025-10-14

Post by Snake Man »

Read Windows 8.1 Support Ends 2023-01-10 topic through what has been said before with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 as I am not going to repeat myself.

Windows 10 support (updates) ends on october 14th 2025.

Because Farming Simulator 22, Sea Power, Elite Dangerous (kind of) and even ArmA 3 through steam client doesn't work on win7/8.1 anymore I had to install abomination called windows 10 to my editing/surfing and Gaming computers, I'm sad to say.

Now yet another windows operating system runs out of time with nazi gestapo microsoft and other losers following like sheep's (*cough* Elite Dangerous, EDMC *cough*), forces you to update. I'm not going to comment about windows 11.

I am truly scared of the future, what am I going to do after win10 dies off. I am not ready to quit editing and playing all these wonderful video games, but if there are no operating system that would run them... what the hell am I supposed to do.

Turning my back to these games which includes web sites like this forum you're reading right now, seems unthinkable right now.

I know that for example Farming Simulator 19 still runs fine on even using windows 7, you could build local area network (LAN) only computer to run it, same goes for Farming Simulator 22 (win10) as that title does not require internet connection or steam (well farmsim does require internet connection to activate the serial code, hmph). However ArmA 3, Elite Dangerous and Sea Power cannot be ran anymore in outdated win10 because ArmA 3 and Sea Power requires steam which soon doesn't work with win10 anymore and Elite Dangerous is massive multiplayer online whatever game so all the game/universe data comes from internet so there is no way to play it without internet connection (outdated win10 on internet would be a bad idea, plus EDMC soon stops working in win10 same as it stopped with win7/8.1).

So while the transition from win7/8.1 to win10 was still doable with geek knowledge of how to disable win10 telemetry and automatic updates etc, right now I see the end of the road, when win10 stops getting updates you are forced to switch over to Linux Desktop.

I am scared and sad, is 2025 truly the year when my computer life style goes through a historical change :(
