Reply to comment by Ok-Party-3033 in Windows 10 users are being offered a Windows 11 upgrade despite not meeting the requirements by GOR098
"disable" isn't the right word. Microsoft simply won't support Windows 10 at some point. that point are at least 2025 for consumer, 2027 for ltsc, or 2032 for iot.
you can still use it, though. you just won't get security updates anymore.

No, disable probably is the right word. They'll push a "remote kill" update and one day the Windows 10 machines just won't make it past the login screen.

never happened to any previous retail windows.

Windows 7 had an upgrade popup where the top right "x" button scheduled a midnight update, and no previous version of Windows had forced updates that you can't disable.

you can just pause updates indefinitely. besides, my point stands still that microsoft has never released a remote kill update. no indication that they'll do it now.

You can't pause updates infinitely. The updates will restart and then force an install.
Microsoft has never had an opportunity to force people to upgrade, DOS didn't get updates. Up until Windows XP updates were something that for most people didn't happen outside of a service pack. Windows 7 had a surprise upgrade shoved out for it. Windows 10 is the first version of Windows that doesn't let you not upgrade. Someone in Microsoft will get the idea that they can just make people upgrade.

besides, correlation doesn't mean causation.
"oh, microsoft has forced updates, next they're gonna have remote kill to force upgrade rrreee".
yeah, right. sounds like a recipe for a lawsuit. microsoft just stop updating windows 10 in 2025 for consumer anyway. if you don't want to upgrade then don't, there's others who're willing. but no need to make a bogus statement.
