Hi,

Just had a mahosive pop up in windows telling me about the windows 10 end of life and that my PC does not meet the windows 11 requirements. It was really really off putting to be watching You tube and suddenly bam! full screen pop up!

Anyone else had this? no real question just intrested what people thought if they recieved it.

With more than 16 months to go until Windows 10 EOL imagine how much more pushy MS is going to get closer to the time. :)

I was wondering could it be something to do with KB4023057: Update Health Tools? I think that's the right KB but i can't remember for sure as I've blocked that KB, but it's the one that shows up in the OG control panel > Add/Remove programs list and installs something to the Program Files (x86) folder.
 
I had that couple of weeks ago at work, in case anyone is interested it looks like this:

We have a lot of machines not compatible with W11, but still perfectly usable. Been testing with Linux instead.
 
MS really pushing win11 more than ever huh.

I have a laptop on win10 which I disabled all feature updates for 2years and I’ve yet to receive this big pop up. Not sure if that’s preventing it or if it’s not my turn yet to receive this pop up.
 
I've been getting the same "prompts", on the fence about giving it a try. Considering a complete upgrade so might end up going Win11 at that point.
 
I got one prompt a week or two back informing me that I was eligible for a W11 upgrade.

For those concerned about/actually wanting to update to W11, sometimes you just need a bios update on your motherboard or something fairly simple, it doesn't necessarily mean you need to buy an entirely new computer.

I believe my motherboard's (Asus ROG STRIX H270F GAMING) BIOS can be upgraded to enable Windows 11 support. But there's nothing about 11 that makes me want to move to it - if anything, the UI of Windows 11 puts me off the move.

I've deliberately chosen not to use the wording "upgrading to", as I don't see Windows 11 as an upgrade.
 
What I find amusing, on another forum people who were giving me **** for complaining about 10 and saying I should just move on from 7 are now complaining about having to upgrade to 11...
