Hopefully you're joking. The day will come when none of your software will be updated on Windows 10, and it will become increasingly unusable. That day is still pretty far off, but it's going to come.

We're still using commercial software on W10 that was compiled for XP and shipped on CDROMS. The backwards compat on Windows is unreal and continues to be the major reason why I tend to stick my neck out for MS to the extent that I do. The OS is solid too, so hundreds of days of uptime on my desktop certainly doesn't hurt :D
If Windows continues in the direction it is headed, I will likely have given up on personal computing entirely by that point.
2025 is the cutoff year on Win 10 support.
