Windows is removing a 30 -year -old feature
The upcoming Windows 11 update will remove the notorious but long function of the famous operating system.
According to GlobalStats, Windows 11 accounts for 51.36%of all Windows versions as of July 2025. On the contrary, Windows 10 has now recorded a 45.57%market share, and finally, in early 2018, it was seized in Windows 7 in Windows 7 and lost the most used version of Microsoft's OS 7. However, a much clearer factor that affects the timing of this milestone is that new laptops, laptops and pre -established PCs have been shipped with Windows 11 for four years. Therefore, Win11 still enjoys significant organic growth.

Windows 10 has previously been the most used version of the Microsoft operating system within two and a half years of launch. But upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 is free and generally simple. On the contrary, Windows 11 has somewhat limited hardware requirements, including TPM 2.0. For a reliable platform module, TPM is a special chip with hardware level security. It is used to activate Windows Hello, store encryption keys, and provide safe boot support without tampering with OS firmware. There is a solution, but the requirements can affect the cut off date of the compatible device, which can interfere with the adoption rate of Windows 11.
Windows 10 support will be officially ended on October 14th. However, Microsoft has introduced an extended support period for the past year and has provided some breathing space to users who are hesitant. The newly released proposal is as simple as activating Windows backups and using 1,000 Microsoft reward points or paying $ 30 for a one -time fee to register on the Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.
The ESU requires the latest version of Windows 10 and will be terminated on October 13, 2016, which will only guarantee access to the most important security updates. Windows 11 has caused game -related problems since its launch, but the most serious problem has been solved by the patch shortly after the appearance. Nevertheless, the story of a crash game, performance deterioration, and excessive updates that can interfere with game sessions made some PC gamers with a poor first impression and reluctant to switch.
