I just rage-downgraded back to 10 a couple days ago. is there any reason why I shouldn't just keep using it after this year? are we ever going to see a risk for zero day exploits for it like happened for XP after it depreciated?
Consider running the LTSC version. It gets extended support.
If one were to run Win10 Enterprise LTSC IoT, "activated"... would it continue to automatically receive updates?
I have to assume so since other versions that have been "activated" the same way do. Real big shout out to you-know-who, btw. They make Microsoft software viable at all.
Windows 10 doesn’t actually need to be activated to receive security updates. You’ll just deal with an annoying watermark in the bottom right all the time. IoT may be different, though.
Regardless, I recommend taking a look at this project: https://massgrave.dev/
