Context
Microsoft is stepping up efforts to move Windows 10 users to Windows 11 with more frequent full-screen ads. These ads warn about the upcoming end of Windows 10 support and push users to upgrade, often by buying new hardware compatible with Windows 11. Social media posts and user feedback show the campaign now highlights the benefits of buying a “Copilot+ PC” running Windows 11. The ads promote the new operating system’s features and remind users that Windows 10 support ends on 14 October 2025. However, they leave out details about the Extended Security Update (ESU) programme or what sticking with Windows 10 after the deadline really means. Many users remain reluctant to switch. Strict hardware requirements exclude many devices, and users see little reason to upgrade when their current setups work fine. The cost of new hardware adds to the hesitation.
