WINDOWS 10 SUPPORT IS ENDING—WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE?
Did Microsoft’s End-of-Support Brick Your PC?
If so, you may be entitled to compensation.
Users with older devices that can’t upgrade to Windows 11 have reported seeing advertisements like the one above when booting up.
Microsoft—one of the world’s largest software companies—has announced that Windows 10 will reach its official end-of-support date on October 14, 2025, meaning millions of users could be forced to purchase new devices or risk security vulnerabilities and unsupported software.
Microsoft is offering Extended Security Updates (ESU) for a fee, but many users believe this unfairly pressures consumers into purchasing new devices or costly software upgrades, despite continued reliance on Windows 10.
Persons Potentially Affected by Microsoft’s Decision
Microsoft has historically extended security updates for previous operating systems, such as Windows 7, but is now demanding payment or pushing upgrades—leaving millions of devices vulnerable to cyberattacks and financial harm.
“The forced obsolescence of Windows 10 is more than a technical decision—it’s a calculated move to push users toward costly upgrades,” says Justin Kachadoorian, consumer rights advocate at the Los Angeles law firm CounselOne.
Consumers should not be forced into unnecessary expenses to keep their devices functional. Microsoft’s decision has real consequences, potentially rendering millions of computers obsolete and placing users at risk of security breaches.
