I mean, that's not exactly news. Windows 10 came out in 2015. It will stop receiving updates after 10 years just like every Windows version has.

I disagree that it's so simple, 10 is different because for a long time it was unclear 11 was ever going to happen, the biyearly releases were the new versions. For most of the other Windows versions they didn't stop receiving security update until well after the next version or two were out. 11 will have only been out for 4 years when support for 10 theoretically stops.
