This has not been a good few weeks for Microsoft. Fresh from the Recall recoil, CrowdStrike struck, with various ups and downs with Copilot momentum in between. But the constant throughout has been an impending security nightmare for the vast majority of its Windows users, now just months away.We’re talking Windows 10, of course, and the staggeringly painful campaign to warn hundreds of millions of holdouts that they need to upgrade to Windows 11.
‘Vicious Spiral’ Alert Issued After Donald Trump Proposed A ‘Massive,’ Radical Plan To Pay Off $35 Trillion Of U.S. National DebtLeak Reveals Crypto Is Braced For A Huge BlackRock And Wall Street ETF Earthquake After $60,000 Bitcoin Price Crash Window 11 isn’t at all new, and all those converts and non-converts know its pros and cons; so setting aside a Copilot AI-driven boost, the question is whether this is a trend or a blip. Certainly, when you look at Statcounter’s Windows 10 chart decline over the last year , the line chart is not something you could ski down. Similarly, Windows 11 growth is an easy stroll up a gently slope, to put it mildly.
And so, while it’s clearly good news that there’s some movement, the reality looks worrying. There will be some accelerated shifting to Windows 11 in the coming months ahead of their October 2025 end-of-life, and there will be some companies and home users taking up extended paid support. But there will also be many millions of users coming off support and taking the risk.
