Microsoft nudges users towards Windows 11 amid upgrade push
Microsoft is sending messages to Windows 10 users encouraging them to switch to the newer version, Windows 11. However, the new system has higher hardware requirements, which may require replacing the device.
Windows 10 is extremely popular, but Microsoft plans to end its technical support soon. Therefore, the company encourages users to transition to the newer version, Windows 11.
Windows 11 introduces a refreshed user interface with rounded window corners, a new Start menu, and an improved layout, making system use more intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. The integration of the AI assistant Copilot and enhanced multitasking features makes work more efficient and seamless. Additionally, Windows 11 offers increased security and better optimization for modern devices, making it a good choice for the future.
Microsoft sends messages
Bob Phony noted that Microsoft has started sending emails to Windows 10 users, informing them that support for this system will end on October 14, 2025, at 7:00 AM ET. These messages contain answers to key questions, and the company appears to suggest that one of its goals is to encourage customers to purchase new computers.
Although the emails confirmed that computers with Windows 10 will continue to function after October, the company warns that they will become less secure and recommends replacing or recycling them. Microsoft does not explicitly state the necessity of purchasing a new device, but this conclusion can be drawn from the message.
Windows 11 requires a processor with at least two cores and a clock speed of at least 1 GHz, compatible with 64-bit architecture, and a TPM 2.0 module. Additionally, it requires a minimum of 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of free disk space.
There are ways to install Windows 11 on older computers without TPM 2.0, but this module is not supported, so some system functions are lost.
