    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.

        In enterprise, you generally do.
        You don’t have to throw it away, just sell it, donate it or use it privately.

      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.
