Even if users do not upgrade to Windows 11 after cooperation is over, they will be able to use office apps. However, as Microsoft notes in the document, performance and reliability issues can arise using the unauthorized operating system. In addition, without security refreshments, these systems are also at risk of malware, viruses and hacking efforts.
Microsoft is aggressively pressing Windows 10 users to upgrade the latest generation. In 2025, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Tech Dev declared the year “Year of Windows 11 PC Refresh”. The pushing is understandable, because the company is investing a lot in Co -Pelot+ PC, which is equipped with a range of AI properties.
The company has also created subscription tires for both businesses and individuals to access these AI features. However, Microsoft will not be able to completely monitor its offerings unless the entire user can access these features.
But the marketing push will not be enough. According to Verge, Microsoft has very strict hardware requirements for Windows 11, unable to upgrade millions of computers to the latest operating system. If they buy new PCs, these users can switch to Windows 11.
