Companies already offer incentives to upgrade for other products, such as with deals, discounts, and trade-ins for old hardware parts, for phones, gaming consoles, and other products. That’s what I mean by incentives to upgrade. How Microsoft chooses to implement these incentives is up to them.
No, what I mean is already explained above.
Windows 11 does require TPM. That is the whole point why people haven’t upgraded as they can’t afford to buy a motherboard that supports it or they don’t have the money for an entire new PC.
I wasn’t making that part of the thread to debate. About security standards.
I was just pointing out how Microsoft is restricting upgrades because of these security features for Windows 11. That is why some PCs don’t fit the requirements to upgrade.
That is how it pertains to the $30 extended updates, as they are not a permanent solution. Therefore, I was emphasizing the security features required for Windows 11. If Microsoft genuinely wants these security features to become standard (as they are making it a requirement), they need to find a way to encourage people to transition to Windows 11. With (incentives) for low-income individuals.
