Are they trying to kill windows on purpose?
The sad thing is they know the large majority of users will comply. Most people put familiarity and convenience above their own privacy and general well-being.
Also, I will not be surprised if they audaciously disable Win 10 Home edition for security purposes once end of life is reached.
I've still got a windows XP computer that I fire up once in a while for the LOLs. it continues to remind me that support ended in 2014, but it keeps working.
I also have a Windows 8.1 tablet that continues to work, and receive Windows Defender updates.
They won't disable anything, stop spreading FUD, that's Microsoft's job.
