As the deadline for Windows 10 support looms nearer, Microsoft is intensifying its campaign to persuade users to transition to Windows 11. This push may even encourage some to consider investing in new hardware that meets the requirements for the latest operating system.
Emphasizing Security Features
Earlier this month, Microsoft launched a dedicated webpage highlighting the advantages of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a pivotal feature that enhances the security of Windows 11. The page outlines how TPM can safeguard your files through encryption, manage software on your device, and thwart unauthorized physical alterations to your hardware.
While the security enhancements offered by Windows 11 and TPM are noteworthy, it is crucial to recognize that Microsoft has established TPM 2.0 as a mandatory requirement for the new operating system. This stipulation has rendered many older Windows 10 machines ineligible for an upgrade, and Microsoft remains steadfast in enforcing this criterion.
However, for those still operating on Windows 10 whose systems do not meet the TPM specifications or other requirements for Windows 11, there is no need for despair. Resources are available to help you extend the life of your Windows 10 PC, even after the impending end-of-support date in October.
