Will Windows 10 still be supported after eol

Post by smurfcorpse »

I have an Alianware Aurora R6 PC that can not be upgraded to Windows 11. It is only doing GPU folding. After a lightning storm, the machine reboots a few minutes after folding starts. I initially thought PSU so I replaced it. The problem remains so now I suspect the GTX 1660 GPU has failed.Strange because temps look normal. I ask if Windows 10 will still be supported because I don't want to throw more money into this as a folder if it's just going to stop working in a few months. Linux is not likely an option for me. I just don't want to spend the time making everything work.

Almost certainly yes.
W7 is still supported, I believe. Not a secure choice. IMO

My win 7 PC stopped getting work units or crashing. When I asked about fixing a specific core for windows 7, The basic reply was it wasn't going to happen. I was able to get a cheap license and get Win 10.

Technically Win 11 is Win 10, so there will be no reason to stop supporting Win10
