Microsoft Confirms 2 Free Offers – Windows Users Must Now Choose
In a shocking turn of events, Microsoft has announced that it will be offering two free options for its users. This move comes after the company’s decision to extend support for Windows 10 until October 2026.
As of now, there are at least 700 million Windows 10 users who must make a choice between these two options. Firstly, they have the ability to upgrade their PCs to Windows 11. However, it is worth noting that only half of all Windows 10 users will be eligible for this free upgrade. This means that an additional 240 million users will not be able to take advantage of this offer.
Microsoft has emphasized that these two options are both free and available for Windows 10 users who have failed the eligibility test. For those who do not wish to take the free upgrade, they have the choice to continue using Windows 10 while extending their support for a year at no cost.
In light of this news, many PC makers may be disappointed by Microsoft’s decision. They had been hoping for an uninterrupted refresh cycle, but that is no longer an option. However, users can still take advantage of shopping season bargains as all inventory chases an unexpectedly soft market.
It remains to be seen how this move will impact the overall cyber security landscape.
