"The Windows 10 update cliff is coming in October 2025. We've explained why that's a big deal, and we have a comprehensive guide to updating to Windows 11 (recently updated to account for changes in Windows 11 24H2) so you can keep getting security updates, whether you're on an officially supported PC or not.
But this is more than just a theoretical exercise; I've been using Windows 11 on some kind of "unsupported" system practically since it launched to stay abreast of what the experience is actually like and to keep tabs on whether Microsoft would make good on its threats to pull support from these systems at any time.
Now that we're three years in, and since I've been using Windows 11 24H2 on a 2012-era desktop and laptop as my primary work machines on and off for a few months now, I can paint a pretty complete picture of what Windows 11 is like on these PCs. As the Windows 10 update cliff approaches, it's worth asking: Is running "unsupported" Windows 11 a good way to keep an older but still functional machine running, especially for non-technical users?"

To try to answer this, let us turn to economic incentives theory.

Google Data Collection research (PDF) - by Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Professor of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, and his team. This study provides a unique and comprehensive view of Google’s data collection approaches and delves deeper into specific types of information it collects from users.
To understand what data Google collects, this study draws on four key sources:
a. Google’s My Activity and Takeout tools, which describe information collected during the use of Google’s
user-facing products;
b. Data intercepted as it issent to Google server domains while Google or 3rd-party products are used;
c. Google’s privacy policies (both general and product-specific); andd.Other 3rd-party researchthat has examined Google’s data collection efforts.
