Want Windows 10 Security? That Will Be $30, Microsoft Says

an extended security update program for consumers
it’s only for a one-year period and will come at a one-off fee of $30.
So it's pointless, then.
My only exposure to Windows is at work and we use the Enterprise version which lacks most that the horrible advertising.
With that caveat, I was recently forced to upgrade to Win11. It actually went with only a couple of minor hiccups. If you can tolerate the horrible UI decisions Microsoft made, and you can put up with the advertising that I hear exists, and Win 11 supports your computer, then I see no reason to recommend against upgrading to 11.
My Windows computer is an i7-7700 series which is not compatible with Win 11 w/o hacks. I will probably convert that into a nice Linux or Proxmox system since it has 32 GB ram. I'll eventually buy a system (on sale) that ships with Win 11 Pro.
I doubt. My guess is that people haven't upgraded because they don't want to be using Win11. Those people can pay for one more year, but that's only one more year.
