Is there going to be a way to keep using it?

Yes, Windows 10 won’t stop working. It just won’t get any support (it actually might if something absolutely disastrous for security happens and they want to avoid the bad press and maybe even protect their customers if the fix isn’t too hard. But I wouldn’t count on it.

They’ll probably do the same thing with Windows 10 they did with XP…The server software that runs along with Windows (I think with XP it was Server 2003) will continue to get security updates for a couple of years. With XP it was a quick registry alteration that continued security updates until 2016 or 17.

Yes, absolutely. Server 2016 and especially 2022 will be supported for some more years.
Server 2025 isn’t even out yet.
I doubt it will be that easy to get more support on win 10 though.

Thanks for correcting the Server version for me…that piece of shit company was still using Microsoft 2003…
