Microsoft Issues New Warning For 70% Of All Windows Users
Summary
Microsoft has issued warnings urging the majority of Windows 10 users, who comprise about 70% of all Windows installations, to upgrade to Windows 11 before support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Users not upgrading will face security vulnerabilities as updates will cease. Compounding concerns are the privacy risks of Microsoft's new Recall feature in Windows, which continuously captures and stores screenshots of user activity, drawing widespread criticism for its potential to compromise sensitive information. Despite opening a beta channel for Windows 10, Microsoft's end-date for support remains unchanged, emphasizing the necessity for users to transition to newer systems to maintain security.
