Microsoft has a serious problem on its hands, thanks to competition from ... itself?

I’m just waiting for the EOL of window 10 to see which of the following will happen:

  1. Many PCs will stop getting updates, people don’t care
  2. Many PCs will be replaced for windows 11
  3. Turns out people already have replaced their PCs due to other reasons
  4. Microsoft removes the hardware requirements
  5. People switch to another OS
  6. People just don’t buy a home PC anymore
  7. ???
  8. Profit???

240 millions PC will become e-waste if Win10 reaches EoL

My bet is that they are gonna surrender and will remove restriccions to W11. I doubt that a non-it person gonna install Linux, at least that, some companies decided to resell old~ computers with linux preinstalled that’s the only way
