With Windows 10's end-of-life less than a year away, up to 240 million PCs could be expedited to landfill. Here are some ideas to delay that end well past 2025.
[Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?
They started requiring the use of motherboards with a TPM. Which is compete and utter bullshit because you need to disable the chip to dual-boot, yet Windows 11 will run for several months at a time with the chip disabled before it complains and forces you to temporarily turn it back on again. So requiring it for “security” is just an excuse to force you to buy new hardware.
