This week, a group of activists defending the right to repair released new statements regarding the upcoming end of support for Windows 10. The group is once again urging Microsoft to consider extending support for the operating system.
Ted Pollak, senior game technology analyst at JPR , on the other hand, shows us the reality:
“Never before in the history of the Microsoft Windows operating system has there been a requirement for a forced hardware migration. And this cannot be solved by replacing a graphics card. It requires a CPU upgrade for over 100 million players, which, in turn, requires a motherboard upgrade and likely RAM.
We’re seeing more PC gamers simply buying new systems. DIY gamers are also preparing for this transition, and many have built new PCs alongside their existing Windows 10 PCs. This allows them to continue using their PC until their Windows 11 builds are complete.”
As you can see in the image above, there is definitely a huge increase in the number of gaming PCs being purchased worldwide.
So it seems that users are doing exactly what Microsoft wanted them to do. Let's remind you that Microsoft officially recommends buying a new computer.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
