It’s free to do, I think at one point it was $30 but now it’s free, so long as you’re updated to the most recent version. It’s worth a shot if it’s not in your means yet to switch over to a foss alterative.
This seems more like delaying the problem rather than a solution. What will you do in 1 year, 3 years, or 7 years when Microsoft stops offering extended security updates to businesses?
Windows is only going to get worse from here. Windows 10 forces software onto you without your permission. It forces updates and installs AI bullshit. The best time to switch to GNU/Linux is today.

Do that instead
there’s a small type in your post, i fixed it: https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol
Lol
What was it?
The link leads to fedora workstation
lol
What’s the difference? I did mine today by clicking some links under windows update.
Costs nothing, gives you the way to the 2032 cutoff, familiarizes you with mas scripts, which let you freely move between skus.
E: switching to iot ltsc 2021 also removes ads, xbox game bar etc. it really whips the llamas ass.
With massgrave you can get into the 3 years program for free
Oh shit really? Good to know then.
- Free
- Doesn’t require giving MS your data by signing into a Microshit online account on your local computer
- Good for 3 years (potentially more as they activate for more but at this point we don’t know if MS will extend the program beyond 3 years)
If you already use a Microsoft account and are fine with signing into that on your local computer then for this year it doesn’t really matter I suppose but this way you can just take care of it and not think of it again in a year.
there should be a lottery where if you win you get to punch Bill Gates in the face as hard as you can
Not a big fan of lotteries at this scale. I propose an alternative, voucher-based system where everyone gets one voucher per year. One voucher = one punch.
do I really need this if all I do on windows 10 is just play one game and nothing else?
what game is it? there are games with exploits for people to gain access to your system but it’s rare. it’s also going to happen regardless of what OS someone is using since it’s an exploit using the game’s data rather than yours. lots of people still use windows 7 still who just go on youtube and shit. it’s probably fine. i’m still on 10 myself and will probably still use it after next year when the extended support for my pc ends
team fortress 2. I guess the only thing I have to worry about is steam dropping support down the line?
you can just use linux if thats all you play if you’re not stuck on windows for some kinda school or work software
most valve games run natively on linux afaik
That’s native on Linux as well. Give it a go?
Team Fortress 2 was literally the first Source Engine game Valve ported to Linux, back in 2012.
“There is life after Microsoft Windows. You have options.”
I wish I could get the extended support MAS script and stuff to work. My PC won’t update to this year’s W10 24H2(?) update unless I do a full install, I think. Tried every other update method and I really don’t want to have to bother with that.
The final version of Windows 10 is 22H2. There is no 24H2. That’s a Windows 11 feature build. Windows 10 has been feature locked since late 2022 basically. It’s just been security updates which now end without ESU. (Specifically with the final security update installed your version should read 10.0.19045.6456 though major version will still say 22H2)
That said if something is badly broken you should be able to do an in-place upgrade install of Windows 10 from the last released version iso which you can find linked on the mas site. You just make sure it is one of the home edition ISOs then run it from within Windows, should be an option for upgrade or repair or something and you do that rather than clean install (which would wipe your drive).
I have seen some cases where OEM’s install broken versions of Windows 10 Home that need this kind of in-place upgrade install to use MAS.
Be careful and read what the prompts say during the process to avoid any mistakes. Your data should be safe as long as you do an upgrade or repair install.
I’ll give it another try. Thanks.
