I'm expecting pretty decent software support for Windows 10 for another three years or so. Sure, there will be things here and there that won't work, but most things will continue to work and many people who are on Windows 10 can just keep on using it for the next few years should they chose to do that. That'll more or less match what happened with Windows 7, where it wasn't until 2023 that I started to see support start to massively drop off. With that said, if Microsoft actually breaks Office on Windows 10 that'll really change things.
Also, I'd offer up 2001-2014 as a period of time where it was entirely possible to stick with one OS (Windows XP) the entire time.
