Incompatibilities of a confidentiality parameter or with a pilot, a device that does not respect the minimum configuration required for upgrading … Multiple are the problems that can brake the passage from Windows 10 to Windows 11. And while Windows 10 still has 43 % of market share, according to our colleagues from XDA, a user of the name of Lawrence Klein complaint against Microsoft, to obtain the extension of the Windows 10 supportas long as users do not abandon the operating system-that is to say as long as it does not pass under the significant bar of 10 %.

According to Klein, with the end of the Windows 10 support, Microsoft would endanger millions of userssince he “ It is likely that millions of users will not buy new devices, or will pay for a support extension ». That Microsoft officially says goodbye to Windows 10, after ten years of good and loyal service, does not mean that computers that run under this version of the operating system will no longer work after this fateful date. On the other hand, they will no longer receive security updates or features, in fact increasing their vulnerability to cyber attacks and the number of potential incompatibilities with recent software. And Klein is particularly worried about companies that store sensitive data.

He also accuses the Redmond firm of ” Monopolize the generativ AI markete », Many PCs do not have the minimum configuration required for upgrading. According to the complainant, Microsoft encourages his customers, through this, to buy new Windows 11 PCs, immediately equipped with Copilot, his house AI. If the complaint does not succeed, to go to Windows 11 users will indeed have to change the machine – or to force its installation. Otherwise, to keep Windows 10, they can spend 1,000 Microsoft points or register for the ESU program (Extended Security Updates). Last possible solution: Choose another operating system corresponding more to their needs.
