Probably nothing, because the demand is coming off more from laptop OEMS, who always push the latest OS as a bullet point for sales.

For example, Framework doesn't officially support Windows 10 through their drivers, regardless if it's Intel or AMD. Especially since all the major laptop OEMs are going full AI, windows 10 support isn't a remote priority of any of these laptops.

Windows 10 is basically at the line where Windows 7 was. You have the choice of going to whatever Microsoft is doing, Going to linux, or do what WIndows 7 users do and stubbornly not move to linux despite you wanting what the linux market offers, until theyre forced off it down the line when things like google's chrome electron apps stop supporting the OS (e,g Steam, Discord) down the line.
