Microsoft to end Windows 10 support on October 14th, 2025

I too, remember the late 1980s where I had to configure the

autoexec.bat
config.sys

as well as remember all the command lines for MS-DOS. Windows 3.1 was operating on a 320x240 resolution. Still remember those CRT monitors and had to configure drivers for the mouse, sound card & CD-ROM to work.

I remember playing around with those (autoexec.bat and config.sys). My computer couldn’t run Kings Quest V no matter what I did. I contacted IBM and some guy there was really nice and mailed me a boot disk with the correct configuration. Worked like a charm after that.

I am definitely installing on a spare laptop as we speak.

So am I but I have used beta/leaked software in the past and it is usually subpar. But I’ll probably be installing Win 11 on day one as soon as it is officially released.

Nice, does it get updates?

Yes it does. My spare laptop is a Dell Inspiron and Windows 11 found the sound card drivers so I had to do a restart.

I have a Dell G7, maybe I’ll install Win 11 on it, it’s just sitting here doing nothing.

I did it, I installed Win 11 on my laptop, Gotta say I really like it so far. Latest Nvidia drivers for Win 10 work fine. Here is a screenshot from my laptop mining Ethereum…

I’ve been playing around with Windows 11 for a day now. It’s kinda like Windows 10 with a pretty new skin, with some differences. The screensaver even still says Windows 10. I know its not a finished product but if the final version is similar to this I will definitely be upgrading on day one of release.

My main takeaway is NO MORE @#$%ING FORCED UPDATES.
