Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? (lemmy.world)

Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

I run windows 10 in a docker container on Linux and RDP in from any computer. More lightweight than a full fledge VM. It comes with file system passthrough as a network folder.

I just stop the container when I'm done and return to my Linux desktop session.

The remote approach is very interesting. I should evaluate that. At least for some usecases.
