The end is nigh for Windows 10 – here are 5 things Microsoft must do to get people to love Windows 11
- Microsoft is facing a challenge as a large number of users are reluctant to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, even as Windows 10's 'End of Life' date approaches in 2025.
- Despite offering free upgrades from Windows 7 and Windows 10 to Windows 11 initially, some users are hesitant to switch due to compatibility issues and familiarity with Windows 10's stability.
- Microsoft's 'carrot and stick' approach, including ads and pop-ups to encourage upgrades, has not been well-received by Windows 10 users.
- To convince users to move to Windows 11, Microsoft needs to emphasize real benefits like AI features, address taskbar issues, improve update reliability, and reduce intrusive ads.
- Features like Copilot could be showcased better to demonstrate practical uses, and fixing usability issues like the taskbar could make the transition more appealing.
- Stable updates, removing ads, and potentially making Windows 11 free forever could also encourage users to upgrade before Windows 10's 'End of Life.'
- Microsoft needs to act quickly to persuade users to transition to Windows 11, as continued use of Windows 10 after the 'End of Life' date could pose security risks or prompt users to switch to alternatives like Linux.
