Lawrence Klein, who’s based in Southern California, filed a complaint against Microsoft in the San Diego Superior Court over its plan to discontinue support for Windows 10 by October 14, 2025. According to the Courthouse News Service, Klein owns two Windows 10 laptops, both of which will become obsolete come October. He asserts that Microsoft is making this move “to force its customers to purchase new devices optimized to run Microsoft’s suite of generative artificial intelligence (AI) software such as Copilot, which comes bundled with Windows 11 by default.”
I don’t disagree with this sentiment, but the problem is you can’t upgrade windows if your hardware doesn’t support it. It’s not like we are talking about i386 or anything. This is modern hardware and it’s just wasteful.
Legit, i can emu tpm and secure boot on a four year old proxmox build. There is no hardware here, the requirements are utter bullshit. It’s not even to support ai - it’s because Microsoft want to force an Apple style garden wall long, long after the horses in question have bolted
