this is literally E-waste
Reminds me what Spotify did with the Spotify car thingWhere are you seeing this? Doesn’t seem like a typical Windows prompt.
Looks like an email
So probably phishing attempt that OP thinks is actually from Windows?
No, I can confirm I also got a Microsoft email. News search for this apparently shows they roll these emails out every so often.
Shows how untrustworthy the big companies are these days. We’re in JD Rockerfeller era Pt. 2.
We just got this on all our Win 10 work PCs, too, from IT.
Guess my parents will continue and will use unsupported OS in the future. Maybe i install Linux to my mother, as a beta tester for the family when i go visit them in the summer.
You should have thrown Windows away at the beginning of the century.
Recycling it is actually a very good suggestion
They act like the computer’s just going to stop working or something… People are going to use win 10 out of support for years.
E: specifically note, please, that i said “act”. I’m aware they state it will keep working in the little FAQ.
People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.
There are lots of IT/SysAdmin on Lemmy so their work will have to switch. I think their concern/sentiment gives others the impression that personal PC owners will also have to switch.
This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.
Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations
And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can’t support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?
For people who still need Windows:
I have a 10-year-old Surface Pro 4 and I was able to freely upgrade to Windows 11 and it works fine. It wasn’t technically supported but I enabled preview builds or something like that (I think I had to enable the Insider program) and it showed up as a Windows Update. I don’t know if this is applicable to all PCs that don’t support Win 11, but surely it’s applicable to some of them that Windows says don’t support Win 11.
Anything but the penguin😂
What about the pengwings
I said from the beginning that the tpm 2.0 requirement was a way to make people buy new pc’s. Good news for me who wants a laptop upgrade.
BUY A COMPUTER ALREADY YOU CHEAP F*****!!!
The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*
Windows 10 LTSC is supported until 2032, and is free to pirate.
Sweet. This will totally fill my point of sale at home needs.
It’s called LTSC IoT, but it’s normal windows. Actually much better because it doesn’t automatically install so much bloat.
You can run into some issues with missing features, for which you’ll have to manually hunt down what’s missing and manually install it.
Yeah, it’s not the miracle solution this person thinks it is
Windows 11 is the most secure Windows ever built, with comprehensive end-to-end security
Does “end-to-end security” actually mean anything in this context, or is it just intended to evoke “end-to-end encryption”?
That entire sentence is unintelligible marketing drivel.
“How is Windows 11 more secure?”
“It just is! Promise!”
It says ‘comprehensive’ can’t get more clear than that, right? Right?
By “end-to-end” they refer to how deep they fuck you in terms of security.
