Cybersecurity firm ESET is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or Linux to avoid a “security fiasco” as the 10-year-old operating system nears the end of support in October 2025.
“It’s five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025,” explains ESET security expert Thorsten Urbanski.
Well it’s both. There’s no reason Windows can’t open a program that is still being updated to this day and the vender needs to optimize their shit before everyone switches.
Well, Windows is generally very backwards compatible but there is a limit to that. It’s simply unreasonable of vendors to expect that everything will always be completly backwards compatible and that they don’t have to fix their product. Windows can’t be the one that has to fix every single problem for every single app.
If the vendor actually updates their product they should consider actually updating and making it compatible with the newest releases of the biggest operating system.
Basically if it can’t run on win 11 by now it’s pretty much abandonware even if the vendor technically patches a few things here and there.
