Microsoft swears up and down that they never "officially" said that W10 would be "the last version of Windows". [0] Rather, it was said by some developer, which the media took and ran with. Microsoft, for their part, seems to have just smiled and nodded without ever feeling the need to dispel that little hiccup.

A Microsoft employee speaking at a Microsoft event is going to be considered an official Microsoft representative. Seems like false advertising that Microsoft didn’t correct the record before it was convenient for them to do so and after a bunch of people had paid for Windows 10 Pro.

Windows 11 is a free upgrade for anyone who has Windows 10, so having paid for Windows 10 Pro doesn't really give anyone a right to be angry.

What about if they have a 7th gen Intel chip or first-gen Ryzen, and aren't eligible for that upgrade?

Instead of getting Windows 10 support on that hardware indefinitely now they're done in 2025.

Anyway no one receive infinite support for hardware. For consumer perspective, Win11 is just rebranded (and upgraded) Win10 because they don't pay for upgrade.

If anyone purchased Windows 10 assuming it would be supported forever, that mistake is truly on them.
