I don't see where you guys are getting your conclusions from, so maybe help me find it.

I see that MS is saying w10 will be supported for 10 years. I do not see where the "lifetime of the device" is defined. Lifetime of support for the OS is NOT the same as lifetime of the device.
So I see nothing that says W10 updates will be FREE for the whole 10 year support time of the OS.

Everything I see still leave the possibility that the W10 updates will only be FREE for 4 or five years or however long the vendor determines the lifetime of the device, and then after that, MS will still be issuing updates and fixes for W10, but maybe you'll have to pay for them.
