As far as industry goes it’s a bit short

Industry standard is 5-6 years of support. After that, you replace the PC anyway.

    Really depends on the industry I guess...we meet a lot of old XP and Win7 machines when visiting sites. Engineering stations rarely get updated unless the hardwares breaks, and a lot of software used to service the machines/production line from the engineering station often don't run on a never OS.
