    • you’re going to get a worse experience in win11 compared to win10 (extra ads and extra copilot)
    • your win10 pc will lose M$ support on October 2025
    • if you update to win11 today with a non TPU enabled chipset, you’ll lose M$ support today

    Just remind me again why I should upgrade to win11?

      Are they not pushing updates out for Windows 11 on machines without TPM 2.0? If they are then it’s still “supported” lol.

      Edit: After finding the actual post from Microsoft, yes, they’re saying they may not continue to provide patches for this. Time will tell. I believe they’d rather have more people using Windows 11 than Windows 10 and if many people with legacy BIOS systems upgrade to Windows 11 they may continue to support them. Just like the full screen ads they pushed to get people to upgrade hardware, I think this messaging is moreso meant to scare people to upgrade hardware, but I believe the data they’re gonna suck out of these older systems on Windows 11 is likely more valuable to them than the cost of supporting BIOS.
