Since XP, Windows lifecycles have been about 10 years for every major
release, (with that of XP about 12 years). 10 years is OK in my book.

I`ve yet to be so lucky for my Android phones. No updates whatsoever
on my two Huawei phones. My current 3-year old Samsung phone has been
getting updates sofar (and Android 10->11->12->13). Fingers crossed.
Other cans of worms: `Apps` not updated for or/and not running on
older OSs.
