on the subject of HDD.. I own three pc. Only the newest one is fully SSD. The two older ones have an SSD for booting and an HDD for storage. Newest has a 10600k using Win 10, the older pc has a 2600k and it also use Win 10, the oldest one is literally a dinosaur with Q9500 and still runs Windows 7 - the HDD equipped on this one is probably as old as the ones you have, I use it for playing retro games. using the 2600k pc to type this message now. Star Rail, a game I play everyday is stored in the HDD, works just fine. ![]() ________ back on topic. It's now 2025. I do hope no problems arrive for Windows 10 users.

Windows 10 users will be fine until a security weakness is found but Microsoft declares itself no longer obligated to patch it.
The bigger incentive to upgrade to Windows 11 will materialize when much of the software and hardware ecosystem begins migrating to 11 and no longer bothers looking back. Take computer games, for example: there are already many (MSFS2020, CP2077, Halo: Infinite, Forza Horizon 4, etc.) that have dropped support for Windows 7. The same process will happen to Windows 10 within a couple of years, and it'll be accelerated by developments e.g. new DirectX versions, changes to driver architecture/standards, etc. The big problem is that Microsoft seems overly reliant on purchases of new hardware (esp. laptops) to drive up W11 adoption numbers. It's not a good strategy, especially in these economically troubled times...and with Microsoft recently instructing manufacturers like Dell, HP and Lenovo to no longer bundle Windows 11 Update 24H2 with 8th/9th/10th-gen Intel CPUs. Now, don't be alarmed: those CPUs will run Windows 11 just fine and will not deny you the 24H2 update, it's just that the hardware's security features are no longer sufficient in Microsoft's eyes and they want the OEMs to move on to more modern (and also more expensive) CPUs.
