🚨 This might be one of the biggest environmental scandal in the making. Microsoft will end free support by default for computers running on Windows 10 (almost half of all Windows computers) on 14 October. 400 million of these computers will not be allowed to upgrade to Windows 11. This forces users to either buy new devices, join a pricey Microsoft scheme or sign-up for additional services to get a temporary extension of support, switch to an alternative operating system such as Linux, or risk using unsecure software. Right to Repair Europe Another case of premature obsolescence and corporate abuse, in plain sight. Update: since this video was shot and published, Microsoft announced Windows 10 users in the EEA will get 1 more year of free updates if they log in with a Microsoft account 🔥

✅ It’s true. A few months ago, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 support will end on October 14th. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-of-support Users can have a support extension if they enroll in Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for 61$ a year. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/extended-security-updates Some associations opposed to Microsoft estimate that 400 000 devices will either become vulnerable or need to be replaced with more modern ones compatible with Windows 11. https://www.halteobsolescence.org/petitions/non-a-la-taxe-windows/ It is not mentionned in the video but at the end of the post: Users from the European Economic Area can have access to the ESU for free under certain conditions. https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/extended-security-updates Although this may seem like planned obsolescence, Microsoft is free to manage support for its operating systems as it sees fit. Users who wish to avoid such limitations can, for example, switch to Linux.
