Microsoft reportedly begins showing full screen Windows 11 ad on Windows 10 PCs as end of support date looms
Windows 10 PCs that are in-eligible for Windows 11 are seeing full screen warnings about next year's end of support date.
The full screen prompt that is now appearing on some Windows 10 PCs thanks the user for their loyalty using Windows 10, and warns that this end of life (EOL) date is approaching. It also wastes no time advertising Windows 11, encouraging the user to learn more about how they can transition to a new Windows 11 PC. Notably, there's no button to tell the prompt to never show again.
Windows 10 PCs that are in-eligible for Windows 11 have two choices when it comes to wanting to remain secure beyond October 2025: Buy a new PC with Windows 11, or pay Microsoft for extended security updates on Windows 10. Pricing for these extended security updates hasn't yet been revealed for individual users, but business customers will have to pay $61 for the first year, per device.

What's wrong with that? You don't own your copy of windows, you are merely licensing it from Microsoft, for them to do as they please while they provide you with valuable services, such as notifying you of dangerous situations that may result in malware other than Windows being installed on your computer.

What else is missing? Most of the games worth playing can be played on Linux already.

Right now, I'm a click away from using an SQL injection attack to gain access to the database of the website and gain your login credentials, as well as your IP address. I'll then proceed to leak your IP address onto my hacker forums, and then using an IP locator, I'll easily find your house and your name. With that I can access your social media accounts and proceed to ruin your life. You think I'm bluffing? You think that just because a bunch of 7 year old dipshits say they can "hack", but actually can't, that I can't either? Let me shatter that facade for you. Using my team of hackers, we can trace what websites you've visited and what keystrokes you've used, and with that, I can get into your parents' bank account. I can drain it and make you dirt poor. Have you ever felt what it's like to be homeless? Well, you're about to. I can also use cross-site scripting to redirect your web browser to one of my private sites, and download child porn onto your computer and get your parents locked up in prison. I'm your worst fricking nightmare, and I'm about to make you endure living Heck. I'm nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Have fun regretting your existence, shithead.
