    Already moved to Linux on a permanent basis and enjoying the better audio stability and routing for music production, so how much are they paying me to go back?

    There’s still a catch, though — you have to keep running Windows 10.

    One little snag: You need to be signed into Windows with a Microsoft account. Using local accounts won’t allow for the updates.

      Give the EU some time.

      And if they don’t remove it, oooh I wanna see the GDPR report microsoft sends me after three years when I ask for it. Before I demand they delete my data :)

    Yea I was wondering why the option to prolong updates hasn’t appeared yet for me. This explains it, and had been rumored. I wouldn’t upgrade to 11, and don’t mind keeping my win 10 partition around for a bit, as there are (thankfully rare) cases where I do need it.

    Seems like a broad overview of what will happen for Europeans. Hoping a more laid out process for opting in so that me as an American can get it as well.
