Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year
Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year
Microsoft really wants people to move to Windows 11.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wait. They want me to pay for something I already paid for?
Well guess my $2.5k new windowless machine is looking better everyday.
You actually paid for Windows?
Oh yeah. Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Each "upgrade" used the same license and never really got screwy until 10. Won't go to 11.
Edit: Actually I don't think I even paid for that, I think it was an OEM license my dad got from his work.
You know what's shocking? I did. I ruined my desktop trying to set it up with some web server functions and wiping it somehow got rid of the license.
And so I paid to get rid of the watermark.. boo!
There you go one last scary story for the season.
You already paid for an extended support contract?
See below: I started my machine off with an XP Professional 64bit license (I didn't personally buy) in like 2006?
Because I kept the key for... Oh god 18 years, I always had the windows Pro versions. Windows 7 64 pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro.
What are you complaining about then?
They supported your hardware for 18 years even when it was only meant to be for a single OS version and now people still had the option of upgrading but the hardware is just too goddamn old. I'm not defending Microsoft I also think the requirements are too high for 11, but expecting even more from your key is just ridiculous.
I'm not.
It was sort of a joke. I'm not leaving windows for the price.
