So what should developers do re: Win10 users? Separate builds for them?
Is it really even a big enough concern to think about them? Windows 10 on ARM lacks x64 emulation support and the devices never sold well. I can't imagine there's too too many Windows 10 on ARM devices hanging around still running Windows 10.
The last build of win10 on arm supported x64 and many of us who do not want win11 still use it.
Sort of. An insider build that was never fully released. Does that even get updates anymore?
Windows Update? Why would you volunteer for that experience‽‽‽ It is a VM in my MacBook. It needs no updates
There must be literally tens of you.
From Microsoft's point of view, ignore them after 2025, unless they pay big.
In reality, yes, different builds, like it already happened with previous Windows versions.
The same thing you do for users of all previous failed windows on arm attempts?
If you meant x86 win10 users you can use the win11 sdk to target them
Only the first Snapdragon 835 is not capable to run windows11. Starting with Snapdragon 850 all are compatible.
Snapdragon 835 is also horribly slow.
