A California lawsuit argues that Microsoft shouldn’t be able to end support until Windows 10’s market share shrinks significantly.
Some people really don’t want to upgrade to Windows 11.
ndows 10 user is suing Microsoft over the upcoming end of official security updates for the operating system. Lawrence Klein, who owns two Windows 10 laptops that don’t support Windows 11, says Microsoft is forcing customers to buy newer devices.
The lawsuit notes that Microsoft is ending Windows 10 support despite a huge number of people still using the older OS. July stats from Statcounter show that 53.39% of worldwide desktop users are on Windows 11, but 43% still use Windows 10. Though Windows 11 launched in 2021, the newer OS only overtook Windows 10 last month.
Klein says an estimated 240 million computers are unable to run the Windows 11 upgrade. He says Microsoft’s move is designed to make people buy new hardware and embrace AI tech.
