Windows 11 24H2 Paint AI requires a Microsoft account and NPU
-
While Windows 11’s Paint Creator uses Microsoft’s cloud to generate AI images based on your prompts, Paint Cocreator turns your drawing/outline into an AI masterpiece locally, thanks to NPU.
Or to put it another way: another feature you won't be using

I can't even figure out how to use the Paint 3D app, and now this!
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Microsoft has been doing a better job of marketing for Linux than anyone could have dreamed of. When they get really obnoxious about dropping support for W10 I suspect Linux will see a flood of Windoze refugees.

The great, great majority of Windows users won't know. Their problem solutions will continue to solve their problems. Nothing will abruptly stop. Nothing will stop at all, if we are talking about Windows applications in use for solving problems for users. Besides: The end of W10 support does not automatically lead to the availability of tens of thousands of Linux applications ready to solve the problems that the Windows applications handled. Even if OS support ends, software houses will continue giving application support. Users will continue using their W10 machines until one of their primary applications, one that their business (or private life) is critically dependent on, comes in a new revision with extensions absolutely required by the user, and this new application version is not available for Windows 10. Software houses may be using W11+ functionality, but not for many years will they unconditionally require W11+. Maybe in one case, or four, but not in the other ten thousands. That didn't happen with any previous Windows (or other OS) revision; it won't happen this time. I am not aware that any of the applications I use cannot be run under Windows 7. If my problems are solved to my satisfaction by my current set of applications, it is highly unlikely that there will come an application revision so fundamental to me that I cannot continue without it. If that is the case, getting a W11+ machine is a viable option. It is probably far less risky than going to another OS, and, at the same time, to a completely new set of applications for all my tasks, crossing my fingers that they cover all my tasks, with all the functionality of the Windows versions of all the applications - including that new functionality that I critically depend on, the one that made me abandon the W10 application suite. Most users use PCs primarily to solve problems. Not to run an OS.
