>It's strange that they are ending Windows 10 support so soon after they stopped selling it.

Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 - all of these had a published 10 year support lifecycle when they came out.

Windows 10's end of support is completely expected and as planned.

With Windows 11, they've moved it to a new lifecycle model, so it's less clear how long it will be supported for.

Windows 10 at one point advertised that it was the last "new" release of Windows ever.

I guess it was one exec at a conference, but they didn't really explicitly disclaim the statement either.
