Microsoft is at an important turn for Windows users. The upcoming deadline can directly affect nearly 850 million Windows user worldwide. The official support time of Windows 10 ends in October, and Microsoft makes great efforts to encourage users to switch to Windows 11. However, the resistance of many users to this upgrade is set to a transition at the speed that the company expects.
Options offered to Windows 10 users, if the devices meet the appropriate hardware requirements, Windows 11 can upgrade free. However, for users who are not compatible with systems, Microsoft offers a $ 30 payment option to receive one -year additional support. This period will extend the use of Windows 10 for 12 months, but then a decision will be obliged to make a decision for users.
In recent months, a slowdown in the transition to Windows 11 has been observed, while the latest data reveals a remarkable change. According to January data published by Statcounter, only 40 million people in the last 31 days passed from Windows 10 to Windows 11. This corresponds to about 2.5 %of Windows’s total user base. In a blog post that Microsoft shared last month, but later on the grounds that it was “misleading”, it may not be offered to Windows 11 free of charge. This description may have accelerated the decision of many users.
It is a fact that Microsoft offers different incentives to direct Windows 10 users to Windows 11. However, for users who cannot upgrade due to hardware requirements, it remains unclear which steps will be taken in the long run. It is a question of how this transition process will evolve in the coming months and how Microsoft will follow the additional support packages.
