[Interest] Windows 10 end-of-support

[Maurice Kalinowski]

Indeed, we will have to look into the general usage of Windows 10, also beyond this point.

For historical evidence, we have waited very long to decide to phase out support for Windows 7. At that point it was only accessible through similar programs.
Furthermore, as of now the amount of effort to support Windows 10 and Windows 11 is much less compared to having Windows 7 and Windows 10 running. This also has an impact on the longevity of this version support.

BR,
Maurice

Given Microsoft are ending support for Windows 10 on 14 Oct 2025, including all Windows updates and security updates, no doubt Qt will drop support for Windows 10 at some point.

Does anyone have insights around when this is likely to happen? Or which version of Qt?

Thanks,
Paul.
