    In my experience it is more like every few decades. There’s still PCs running XP or even something more ancient. If a company swapped their systems during the whole “W10 is the only OS you’ll ever need” period, then they might be fucked.

      Obviously depends on the company but well run companies shouldn’t have any problems unless they have very specialised machinery but those probably already run Win XP or some shit.

      And no company should seriously expect free software support for the end of time.
