Windows 10 Users Are Being Targeted With New Upgrade Offer

A surge of attacks targeting Windows 10 machines highlights the need for users to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, which is currently available at a discount of approximately 94% off its standard price. Windows 10 is becoming increasingly vulnerable as it approaches its end of support, leaving users exposed to cyber threats. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warns that unsupported systems are often exploited by cybercriminals. Windows 10 remains widely used, making it a significant target for attackers, as evidenced by over billion in reported cybercrime losses in 2023. Windows 11 Pro offers enhanced security features, including BitLocker drive encryption, Credential Guard, and Smart App Control, along with a security-first design that requires compatible hardware. Current promotions allow users to purchase a Windows 11 Pro license for under 0, providing a one-time purchase option that includes updates until Microsoft ends support for Windows 11. Users are advised to check compatibility before upgrading and to back up important files. For those unable to upgrade, alternatives include purchasing Extended Security Updates or investing in new hardware that meets Windows 11 specifications.

Windows 10 turns 10: No compatibility chaos

Windows 10 was launched as a response to the mixed reception of Windows 8, aiming to provide a stable and reliable alternative. It offered improved performance on solid-state drives compared to Windows 7, although it did not achieve the same affection. The development included the Windows Insider program for user feedback, but responsiveness to that feedback was inconsistent. The operating system faced issues, such as the problematic October 2018 Update that deleted user files. Windows 10 Mobile, launched alongside, quickly faded due to lack of interest. The desktop version thrived, aided by a free upgrade offer and hardware compatibility. Privacy concerns arose due to telemetry and data collection practices. Microsoft replaced Internet Explorer with the Edge browser, which later adopted the Chromium engine. Despite challenges, Windows 10 maintained a strong presence in the desktop market, proving to be a stabilizing force for Microsoft after Windows 8.

Microsoft mysteriously offered a Windows 11 upgrade to this unsupported Windows 10 PC — despite it failing to meet the “non-negotiable” TPM 2.0 requirement

Microsoft launched Windows 11 in 2021, facing criticism for its minimum system requirements and design flaws compared to Windows 10. Windows 11 recently surpassed Windows 10, capturing a 50.88% share of the desktop operating system market. An unusual incident reported by BornCity indicated that Microsoft offered an upgrade to Windows 11 for unsupported hardware, despite its strict requirement for a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 for security. Microsoft has not changed its requirements and continues to promote Windows 11, especially as support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. Users can enroll in the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates program for a fee or sync settings with a Microsoft Account for an additional year of free updates. The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) has petitioned Microsoft to reconsider ending support for Windows 10, warning of potential increases in discarded computers, but Microsoft has shown little inclination to reverse its decision or relax Windows 11's hardware requirements.
