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?

Apple is king of new OS doesn't work on the old hardware though

Apple's the only hardware vendor for MacOS, so they've got slightly different incentives than Microsoft does for Windows. If a new MacOS release induces hardware purchases, that's a lot of money for Apple. If a new Windows release induces hardware purchases, Microsoft sees little of that benefit.
