Windows 10 is not a decade old, it had several major release that were not marketed as new versions because the “last version ever” craze was on.

You’re right; 8 years. And in 2025, support ends (aside from security patches) and the OS is retired.

Windows 11 was released in 2021. Like I said, Windows 10 had several major releases, so its age shouldn’t be counted from the first windows 10 (things like creators update, redstone update etc). Also, what kind of maintenance do you want besides security patches for Windows? Surely not some Cortana BS xbox game bar something something ad popup?
