Revamped "Start" Menu Interface
Microsoft has now officially ended support for the consumer edition of Windows 10. For users who continue to rely on the system, the company is offering a dedicated ESU extended security support program, allowing anyone to register for free and receive an additional year of security updates.
In its Q3 FY2026 earnings report, PC manufacturer Dell revealed that the migration to Windows 11 remains markedly slow compared with adoption rates during the Windows 10 era. As Dell noted:
“We have not completed the Windows 11 transition. In fact, if you were to look at it relative to the previous OS end of support, we are 10-12 points behind at that point with Windows 11 than we were the previous generation.”
Dell also disclosed that more than 500 million PCs currently fail to meet Windows 11’s hardware requirements — meaning they cannot upgrade to the new system. This suggests that, at some point in the future, these half-billion devices may be replaced with new PCs preloaded with Windows 11.
Yet Dell hints that overall PC sales are likely to remain largely flat. Although the company did not elaborate, the implication is clear: users show little enthusiasm for upgrading to Windows 11 hardware, and many are unlikely to purchase new devices solely because Windows 10 has reached end of support.
This assessment closely mirrors the sentiment of many users. Windows 10 is widely regarded as more stable than Windows 11, and much of the hardware running it remains perfectly serviceable, with the exception of failing to meet Microsoft’s stricter requirements. Under such circumstances, buying a new Windows 11 machine feels wholly unnecessary.
In other words, Windows 11 may need many years to gradually displace Windows 10 — a transition likely to unfold only as aging Windows 10 hardware slowly deteriorates and users eventually choose to replace their old machines. This process may continue for a very long time.
