People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.

This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.

Absolutely you will be able to. How many previous versions of Windows have exploits that don’t require the user to do anything other than be connected to the Internet for their machine to be compromised?

It's literally happened to every single version of Windows, 10 and below.

If you disable the firewall and AV, sure, you can get in trouble. That’s not following even the most basic online safety steps though.

Every single one. Lol.
