not OP, but for the lifetime of the hardware ? or, at least, should be specified in T&C when buying the hardware

I am still pissed off that my 2012 Macbook Air is no longer receiving OS updates - compare that to Microsoft that allows me to run windows on basically any PC

[ianlevesque]

Don’t worry, Microsoft is “fixing” that with windows 11’s requirements :-/

Not anymore. Windows 11 requires 8-th generation which was released in 2017.

The “lifetime of the hardware” is defined by the lifetime of the supporting software, which ultimately boils down to the popularity of the platform you’re on
