There is Windows 10X coming out in 2021. It won't replace Windows 10 but it might be a sign of things to come in whatever comes after Windows 10.

something daft already!! · 20 Jan 2021 at 23:56

Windows 10 is the last version of Windows.

And Windows 10 now isn't the Windows 10 that was first released.

I hope we dont have another version coming out as all my hardware works very nicely with win 10 even a old SCSI LTO tape drive

No need, Microsoft told us 5 years ago there would be no windows 11.

no windows 11 is what MS said. That means no successor to windows 10. It doesnt mean 10 wont evolve and it doesnt stop things like 10x, which is basically 10 without win32 support and a new UX, from happening.

Of course, that could change. But as it stands, MS havent backtracked on that statement so far.

MS has reverted instead to a bi-annual feature update instead, around March and September. They can set previous versions to "end of life" much sooner. This kind of forces all home users to have pretty much the same version of Windows, which is easier to support, rather than having countless different users on different versions. It makes sense from their perspective, but it hasn't been without its problems in the past.

Critical and security patches I believe are still released on the second Tuesday of each month, but I may stand corrected on this.

Looks like Microsoft is taking a page out of Apples book when it comes to the OS.
