      Thats assuming that people are actually going to throw their computers in the trash when the OS reaches end of life.

      Most people running these old machines probably won’t know or care.

        They’ll definitely know. Microsoft’s last update for Windows 10 will make sure to add as many notices, popups and scary alerts as possible.

        And as a result plenty will care, particularly those who aren’t tech savvy. If you’ve got relatives for whom you are their go-to IT person, be prepared.
