Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years. 

Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

Windows 11 is adware and spyware wrapped in a thin OS veneer. I will never upgrade, end of support or no.

And this is why I refuse to touch anything but Windows Pro, stable channel.

Yes, it costs extra, and it comes with some ads, and I don't get the "honor" of beta testing the latest bells and whistles for a month or two, and laptop vendors still put their crapware on it... but once I disable all the nasty stuff, it stays disabled.
