I have my doubts about most of the information presented in this guide, some of which I know either isnt exactly accurate, not useful to users reading this, or simply incorrect. | |||
A few that stood out: | |||
{{Quote| | |||
"It is still possible to use Windows 10 and still receive updates for the next years, however that is only possible for the LTSC versions of the operating system" | |||
Last half is incorrect, ESU updates for GAC users are available.}} | |||
{{Quote| | |||
"The LTSC versions of Windows 10 don't support Apps, like the Windows Store and any other app that you would install from the Windows store, among other restrictions." | |||
They do. You can install MS store using one command and install appx packages using [https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1 App Installer].}} | |||
{{Quote| | |||
"The script can be found in this GitHub repository; additional information for using the script can be found there." | |||
Not exactly wrong, but theres no need to use a third-party script to in-place upgrade from GAC to LTSC.}} | |||
{{Quote| | |||
"Windows likes to reinstall system components that were once uninstalled by the user, during the upgrade process, like for example Windows Defender." | |||
Why would you uninstall Defender?}} | |||
{{Quote| | |||
"Product keys are one way" | |||
Dont suggest buying cheap keys from shady grey-markets. This is bad for many reasons. You can activate for free, and safely.}} | |||
{{Quote| | |||
"If you have any nerd friends, you could ask them for methods." | |||
Nice gatekeeping, but historically Microsoft has not really cared at all about these methods.}} | |||
I propose removing this guide entirely and replacing it with a link to a much better [https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol external guide by MAS] for the following reasons: | |||
1. Its constantly updated, covers much more than this guide, and is useful. | |||
2. Less doubt about the credibility of the info presented, its written by people with actual knowledge. | |||
3. Generally it just doesnt make sense (to me at least) to maintain a separate guide when something like this exists. | |||
It doesnt really make sense to have an entire page for just this one link, so it could be listed somewhere else on the other Windows pages. [[User:Hugo9655|Hugo9655]] ([[User talk:Hugo9655|talk]]) 14:28, 9 November 2025 (UTC) | |||
