Microsoft’s Windows 10 Upgrade Incentive for Users Postponed

Microsoft’s Upgrade Incentive for Windows 10 Users

Microsoft has been bombarding Windows 10 users with full-screen ads for some time now to encourage more users to switch to Windows 11. This practice seemed to be getting increasingly aggressive. As the official support period for Windows 10 nears its end, Microsoft’s desire to accelerate the upgrade process has become clear.

However, this situation led to significant discomfort and negative feedback among users. Therefore, it is believed that Microsoft may have silently changed its plans regarding this issue. Recently, the company announced that it has postponed its plans to send these ads to compatible Windows 10 devices more frequently.

According to statements on Microsoft’s official Tech Community website, it was expressed that, based on user feedback, this application would not be implemented with the April 2024 security update as previously mentioned. Additionally, it was noted that a new timeline regarding this matter will be shared in the future.

• The support for Windows 10 will continue for more than a year.
• The Extended Security Update program will provide users with an additional three years of security.

Therefore, it can be anticipated that Microsoft will wait a little longer on this matter. Additionally, third-party service providers offer various services that promise to extend Windows 10’s security support further. However, it is worth noting that most of these services are more applicable to organizations and large companies.

Regular users should also not forget that they are exempt from Microsoft’s renewed advertising plans. If you have a computer running Windows 10 that is compatible with Windows 11, you are likely to encounter a large Windows 11 advertisement the next time you start your computer. In this case, it is worth noting that you should not be surprised.
