Windows 10 displays full-screen ads, but that's not the funniest thing
Still not using Windows 11? Microsoft wants to change this and for this purpose it will even display a full-screen advertisement for the new system. But that's not the funniest thing about it.
Windows 11 has been able to display ads for some time, e.g. in the start menu in the form of suggested applications. However, the older and more popular system, Windows 10, also does this, although in a different form. Microsoft has started showing users full-screen prompts to install Windows 11, even if their computer does not meet the requirements.
Windows 11 full screen ad
Several Windows 10 users have already seen a full-screen ad encouraging them to install Windows 11. What's particularly funny is that it even appeared on computers that don't meet the requirements of the new operating system. Moreover, the mechanism responsible for this message is perfectly aware of this, because it informs about it itself.
Your computer is not eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, but it will receive bug and security fixes for Windows 10 until end of support on October 14, 2025.
– reads the message.
Such an aggressive approach of the Redmond company is not surprising. Windows 11 is not so much not gaining in popularity, but, according to some statistics, it is even losing it. Windows 10 is still the most popular, used by almost 70 percent. computer users. This is primarily due to the high requirements of the eleven, including a relatively new processor and TPM 2.0 support.
So what can users who don't meet the Windows 11 requirements do? Either continue to use Ten even when official support ends, or buy a new computer on which the new version of the system can be installed.
