Microsoft nudges users to upgrade as Windows 10 support ends
Microsoft is sending messages to Windows 10 users encouraging them to transition to the newer version, Windows 11. However, the updated system has higher hardware requirements, which might require replacing the device.
Windows 10 remains extremely popular, but Microsoft plans to terminate its technical support soon. Consequently, the company is trying to motivate users to upgrade to the newer version, Windows 11.
Windows 11 offers a refreshed user interface with rounded window corners, a new Start menu, and an improved layout, making the system more intuitive and visually appealing. The integration of the AI assistant Copilot and enhanced multitasking features makes working more efficient and seamless. Additionally, Windows 11 provides increased security and better optimisation for modern devices, making it a sensible choice for the future.
Microsoft sends messages
Bob Phony noted that Microsoft has started sending emails to Windows 10 users, informing them thating end of support on 14twill end on 14er 2025 at noon GMT. These messages contain a collses 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 inferred 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's lack of support means that some system functions will be lost.
