Microsoft has made no secret of how long its hardware support lasts. If anything, the total of six years is longer than the Surface average of ~5.

The Windows 11 announcement changes nothing in this regard.

Edit: The first gen Surface Studio was also about five years (2016 - 2021).

It still absolutely terrible.

Ok but Microsoft's 4-6 years of support for their hardware has nothing to do with Windows 11.

Given Microsoft's track record, Win 11 will be a trainwreck.

Win 12 is what you'll want to wait for anyway.

Just renew support for Windows 7, and maybe update it a little bit. I will be dragged, kicking and screaming to Windows 12.

That's kind of every single android phone on the market though. If security updates matter.
