Fusion 360 Win 10 EOL

Forgot to mention ( in case of incoherency) that I am working my way through the last of a bottle of Canadian Whiskey before I fly home tomorrow 

Sounds like a good way end the day / year to me rodw. I am about to break the seal on a bottle of
a Single Malt Irish Whiskey.

Ok it is officially January 1 2026 in my area and fusion 360 is still working on my Windows 10 machine.
Will it stay that way through out 2026? Don't know. However given the bad press of
Windows 11 Autodesk would do well to let fusion 360 run on Win 10 for a while longer.
So we will see.
With that said Have a Happy New year every one.

Post from Autodesk forum:Microsoft will end mainstream support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. As outlined in our official Autodesk announcement, Fusion will still run on Windows 10 after this date, but:

• Windows 10 will no longer be a supported or validated platform for future Fusion releases.
• Autodesk will not guarantee compatibility, bug fixes, or product support for Fusion on Windows 10 after October 14, 2025.
• Fusion will not support Windows 10 LTS builds beyond this date, as Fusion follows Microsoft’s General Availability Channel.

So F360 will run on W10 for now, but my interpretation is that if there are issues due to F360 updates Autodesk isn't going to fix them.  Eventually F360 will stop working completely with W10, just like it did with W7 & W8 a few years ago.

As I mentioned early in this thread, I've moved to Win11 LTSC in the last month and am happy with it.  No AI, no telemetry, no spyware, no junk, no suprise 'feature' updates.  Can load it with zero MS add-on's.  So far it's been clean and fast.

Not an apologist for MS or Windows, but for those who must remain on Windows like myself, the Enterprise LTSC version seems to be the least objectionable option.
