I have an octal core Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4 processor... it seems to be from the Broadwell generation using an LGA2011-3 socket. Many people with similar systems report strong performance and good value at affordable prices (check used or engineering samples). Do you know any CPUs that fit this socket and work with Windows 11? I also learned that the latest Windows 11 installers won’t let you bypass CPU checks through registry hacks. So far, copying the Windows 11 ESD from a Windows 10 installer works fine, but I’m unsure if it will still function after upgrades like 22H02. What about future updates beyond that?

It's really frustrating. It seems Windows 10 might stay stuck like a WinXP version until more people upgrade their hardware.

Many users think the Win 10 support will stop tomorrow, with plans to finish by 2025. This gives older devices more time to become outdated while people can upgrade.

It's just around the corner and many people rely on the same machine for over a decade. I’m confident it will still be Windows XP or Windows 7, but things are worse because upgrades aren’t mandatory like they are with Windows 10—just choosing to replace it now.

After the support stops, the operating system doesn't suddenly fail—it becomes much less secure. If I don't upgrade soon, I could end up using Linux instead.

Many non-hobby users rely on XP systems, especially in places like airports where boarding passes and check-ins are handled. This poses serious challenges due to outdated security patches and vulnerabilities.

I know exactly what you mean. The company I used to work for as an IT admin employee had thousands of XP machines in 2018. You can still see them operating smoothly at their stores, almost as if nothing had changed. Their best offering was Windows Pos 2009, which they were working on a long-term update when I left.

Microsoft plans to keep supporting both Windows 10 and Windows 11 together, which is a change from earlier releases. Windows 11 was built with enhanced security features right from the start, so they are strengthening its protection measures. Don’t worry—your data from Windows 10 remains secure. Windows 8.1 will continue receiving updates and support until 2023.

Windows 7 lacks strong security features, and older versions like XP are easy to compromise.
