This is the best summary I could come up with:
Just be aware that the tech giant will force you to dip into your wallet to keep accessing security fixes and small bug hunts.
The current version, 22H2, will be the last of its kind for Windows 10, though it will still get monthly security updates all the way through the OS’ planned death date.
Businesses can purchase yearly ESU subscriptions, though Microsoft still has yet to detail how individual users can buy into the program.
Windows 8 lasted about 10 years before it stopped receiving free security updates, but the company decided not to provide ESU service to the much less popular OS.
The Taiwanese outlet The Commercial Times (via Tom’s Hardware) reported last week that Microsoft could release Windows 12 in June 2024.
Eventually, the only way you’ll be able to keep using Microsoft’s latest operating system is to strap yourself into a cramped, economy seat on the tech giant’s big AI passenger jet.

It's fairly reasonable imo...
Doesn't this violation of customer service laws or something.
Looks like no more Windows 10 updates
