How much of a crusade do you think Microsoft is going to make against Windows 10 after EoL? I imagine they're at least going to try push updates that invalidate IoT licenses or slowly kill the functionality of Home editions for "security." Windows 10 is probably the most widespread operating system ever, it's hard to imagine they won't try something more than what they did with XP and 7.

They wont activate a kill switch because that would go legal and a class action lawsuit would follow. They'll let it slowly fade away like windows 7

They won't gaf, they'll drop support for future Office versions and Adobe will refuse to support it etc. and no-one will gaf as there's nothing ever changes with Office or Adobe's shit anyway. THEN HOWEVER, Google will one day drop W10 Chrome updates support, something will break and that will be that. As it was/is with 7.

Just like they did for XP and 7, they'll silently push an evil update to Visual Studio so everything made with it will only work with Windows 11. Even when the software itself is not made with it, at least one dll it uses will be made with it, so it very quickly makes most software magically stop being compatible with the Windows they want to kill.
But there will clearly be a VxKex equivalent for Windows 10 to fix this. (If you don't know what it is, VxKex is what makes Windows 7 still able to run current software despite Microsoft's effort.)
