This! From a hardware perspective I do not see any reason to upgrade. I have a gen 7 i5 processor and 16GB or RAM and I have no issues with my current device. I am not sure that Microsoft thought that part through. The problem Microsoft has is that Windows 10 has not slowed down unlike with older Android phones which tend to become rather slow and left behind in terms of apps and so on. With Windows 10 everything still works fine, VLC, Firefox, VS Code.

Don't give them any ideas...
Oops I should have kept my mouth shut. It will be interesting how the application developers react. Will Firefox or Brave browser stop supporting Windows 10 in a year's time.

My work issued device is on Windows and I keep a Windows PC at home just to make the switching between work and home simpler but I have no reason not to switch to Linux at home.
