If this worries you and you want to go to windows 10 but still get security updates, go to massgrave.dev/windows10_eol and learn how to use the mas scripts to downgrade back to 10, switch to 10 iot ltsc 2021 and keep getting security updates till 2032.

Do it asap before ms closes off these possibilities.

I'd been putting this off, but it was fairly painless. No clean install was necessary, just follow the instructions faithfully. Took about under an hour including install and update time.

Oh, coming from windows 10 though. Don't know if you can avoid a wipe downgrading.

You can do almost every wipeless version/edition/channel switch in any direction using the mas menu.

Iirc ltsc iot 2021 is one of the handful that needs you to dl a iso first.

Theres a lot to hate about windows but being able to say “now you’re a horsey!” and have it animorph into a horse ain’t one of em.

I believe I just read that MS pushed out an update that killed massgrave activations

No, it killed one particular method that wasn't even recommended:

A lot of misinformation is spreading due to clickbait articles. For clarity:

  • KMS and KMS38 are different.
  • Microsoft had planned to remove the KMS license "migration" for a long time, not just to fight piracy.
  • MAS has several methods, and KMS38 was never recommended.

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification.
