\"Windows\"[German<\/a>]Somehow Microsoft doesn't seem to be happy with the response from users who are voluntarily upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I've come across a new report that Microsoft is annoying Windows 10 users with Windows 11-compatible hardware with a series of redesigned pop-up windows asking them to upgrade to Windows 11.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"I have no idea whether this is also displayed to German Windows 10 users – I haven't seen it on my notebook yet. But Windows Lastest points out these new annoying pop-ups in the following tweet<\/a> from February 5, 2024.<\/p>\n

\"Upgrade-Aufforderung<\/a><\/p>\n

In four consecutive pop-up windows, Microsoft explains to the baffled Windows 10 user that they are happy to offer a free upgrade to Windows 11 for the computer in question. The (false) promise: \"You can continue to use your computer while the new system installs in the background and it won't take up much space.\"<\/p>\n

On other screens, Microsoft \"promise the blue from the sky\" to naive users\u00a0<\/span> – look at the color of the pop-ups (I wonder if their designer knew the saying \"promise the blue from the sky\"?). In any case, further pop-ups – an enlarged version of which is available in this article<\/a> – promise a \"smooth transition\" when switching to Windows 11. Data is transferred seamlessly and the user interface is easy to use, they say.<\/p>\n

On the third screen, Windows 11 is touted like sour beer as an exciting upgrade with an updated look, improved security and faster performance. It's user-friendly and improves productivity and the entertainment experience, people are told, only to admit that some Windows 10 features may not be available in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

Finally, Microsoft informs people that they have the option of staying with Windows 10. But users are reminded that they can upgrade to Windows 11 for free. What a fuss – the author of Windows Latest reminds users to stay with Windows 10 anyway. Statcounter<\/a> puts the share of Windows 10 on desktop systems at 66.43% at the end of January 2024, while Windows 11 is hovering at 27.82%. Windows 11 was released in fall 2021 and can be updated free of charge from Windows 10 machines (if they are compatible).<\/p>\n

Kind of looks like \"voting with your feet\" to me – doesn't it? After I've published the German edition of this article, I received feedback from several users, who observed the same – some on systems not compatible with Windows 11!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
