> if a manufacturer stops supporting your hardware at any point
How about making online petition signed by millions of Windows users and send them to your PC's manufacturer telling them to keep supporting every hardware at least until 2060? ....Doubt that will work though.
People who dislike new features might be fine with this since they will still receive security updates.

I got an idea, how about apple "buy out" all the hardware manufacturers and say all hardware is no longer supported, then bye bye Microsoft.

MS is making stupid and dumb moves with Windows,at this point i want someone to make an OS that is like Windows 7 OS ,where its will be a hardware friendly OS.

I guess if the new features would cause my laptop to be laggy because of the lack of support from my manufacturer then I would prefer just having windows security updates to keep my computer safe.

not mr. bill gates, mr. satya nadella is the man.
Given the track record with W10 I don't think this policy is a surprise. You can expect future policy changes with older versions of Windows such as accelerated termination of support.

It's not fair but i can understand their decision
Installing W10 on my old laptop made fan working overtime all the time even though i had one tab open on my browser and nothing else.
Come back to W7 and laptop is working without a problem and fan is working only when it needs to.

Well OEM supports new PC for a year and leave you in the dust these days. Even my new PC is obsolete. haha. But on Linux, it still 2 to 3 years to fully my hardware especially Killer Wireless 1535. I upgraded to linux Kernel 4.10 and battery life is similar to Windows( using Intel IGP).Not fair at all.
Keep a copy of linux in hand when MSFT and OEMs decide to pull the plug on their older PCs.

If they actually do this it means no upgrades for any laptop that is more than 3 year old. But you can relax for now because they are just preparing the i made windows 10 a monthly subscription and you have to upgrade because support has ended for your version.

That is actually a good news. Currently 10 keeps upgrading no matter what, even the hardware is unsupported, which results in many problems.
The problem is as always Microsoft, which is death scared of using a proper name for 10, we have got Windows 10.3 (Service Pack 3) now.
You can buy a device, which clearly say, it supports 10, but it does not mean, it supports 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and so fort. Darn you MS.

Well to be fair MS can't just support a device w/o the device manufacture supporting it i.e. by providing drivers & all. Sure MS can tinker OS so that it plays well with unsupported hardware but ultimately the user experience will suffer (BSOD and bad performance) and everyone is going to blame only MS.That is actually a good news.

If you want an operating system that is developed for your device than switch to Apple. I can understand Microsoft.

It is MS, which has decided to use Windows 10 name for everything forever, even-though we are basically running Windows 13, so it is definitely to blame.Well to be fair MS can't just support a device w/o the device manufacture supporting it i.e. by providing drivers & all. Sure MS can tinker OS so that it plays well with unsupported hardware but ultimately the user experience will suffer (BSOD and bad performance) and everyone is going to blame only MS.
Luckily some manufactures have got more sense and they are actually listing drivers as for Windows 1511, 1607, 1703, etc, not just for Windows 10.
