Many Windows 10 users have discovered that Microsoft has started displaying full-screen ads on their computers.
Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will end support on October 14, 2025, so the company is urging users to upgrade to Windows 11.
Recently, many Windows 10 users have discovered that Microsoft has started displaying full-screen advertisements on their computers, emphasizing the benefits of upgrading to Windows 11.
According to Windows Latest, the ad not only focuses on introducing Windows 11 but also emphasizes outstanding features such as longer battery life, better security, and intelligent AI functions from Copilot+ computers. Microsoft hopes that these ads will motivate users to decide to upgrade their operating system.
While Windows 11 upgrade ads are intended to be positive, they can be annoying. They often take up the entire screen, forcing users to look at them and press a button to close them, which can be quite annoying.
To upgrade to Windows 11, users' hardware devices need to meet the minimum requirements. This makes it impossible for many people to upgrade for free by simply clicking on an ad. As a result, many Windows 10 users are still forced to stick with the old operating system.
But is it really safe to delay upgrading? According to the report, if users continue to use Windows 10 after the operating system stops receiving support, they will face high security risks, including potential cybersecurity threats. This risk is even higher when the device is connected to the Internet.
According to analysis from the website Statcounter, as of October 2023, Windows 10's market share still accounts for 60.97%, while Windows 11 only reaches 35.55%. Microsoft is expected to increase its advertising efforts in the coming time to boost Windows 11's market share before the deadline of October 14 next year.
