Millions of Windows users hit with surprise warning—here’s what you do next.
Republished on December 13 with a new Windows security warning as Microsoft’s AI is caught capturing sensitive information that it shouldn’t.A week ago, Microsoft appeared to shutdown avenues to moving to Windows 11 on PCs that didn’t meet the TPM 2.0 hardware hurdle. “With Windows 10 end of support approaching,”But then the company almost immediately appeared to reverse course, opening the door to updates on machines that don’t meet a hurdle it describes as “a necessity.
There is also a full-fat disclaimer before you get to any actual update instructions: “If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive updates. Damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility aren't covered under the manufacturer warranty. By selecting Accept, you are acknowledging that you read and understand this statement.”
Users will also hope for a genuine change in policy before October, certainly if the Windows 10 user numbers continue to hold-up as now, providing some minimal level of security fixes beyond the deadline even for those not parting with their $30.
