Windows 11 should have been an easy upgrade – Microsoft chose to unleash chaos on us instead
Matthias Kulka/Getty Images In my three-plus decades of watching Microsoft, I’ve seen the company do some truly dumb things. The transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 deserves a spot at the top of the list. What’s most impressive is that the strategy it’s been executing is bad for Microsoft’s customers, and bad for the company’s bottom line. A real lose-lose proposition.

In 2021, when Microsoft’s engineers were putting the finishing touches on what would become Windows 11, the plan was to make it a conventional release that would have allowed most Windows 10 PCs an easy upgrade path. But someone at Microsoft killed that plan, creating a series of headaches that will become exceptionally costly and painful for businesses and consumers at the end of 2025.
And it didn’t have to be this way. To understand why, we need to talk about the long history of Microsoft Windows support policies.
Microsoft’s 10-year support lifecycle
Since the mid-1990s — the start of the modern Windows era — Microsoft has committed to support every new commercial release of Windows for at least 10 years — five years of mainstream support and five years of extended support. That commitment was formalized a quarter-century ago with the release of Windows 2000; it expanded to officially include consumers in 2012.
And that 10 years was about the operating system, not the hardware. Because of the company’s obsessive focus on backward compatibility, you could pretty much count on your PC being able to run the latest version of Windows for at least a dozen years and maybe even 15 years. If you bought a PC with Windows 7 preinstalled in 2010, you were able to upgrade it to Windows 8 in 2012 and then Windows 10 in 2015, and many of those devices are still running Windows 10 productively in 2025.

That’s why it was such a rude shock when Microsoft released Windows 11 in 2021 with a set of unexpectedly rigid hardware restrictions. The requirements were so severe that they blocked upgrades even on PCs that had been purchased new only two or three years before Windows 11 was released. That effectively reduced the support lifecycle to well under 10 years for hundreds of millions of PCs designed and built between 2016 and 2019.
If you felt like you’d just had the rug pulled out from under you by someone in Redmond, well, you’re not alone.
The chaotic launch of Windows 11
Windows 11 went through one of the most compressed development cycles in the long history of the OS. Announced in June 2021, tested in an Insider Preview cycle for about three months, then released in October 2021.
The way that announcement played out was just an absolute mess from a corporate communications standpoint. The online launch event on June 24, 2021, was so glitchy that most of the invited press and analysts were unable to watch it. And that was just the start. To remind myself of how insane that week was, I reread a piece I wrote at the time: “Will your PC run Windows 11? Even Microsoft can’t say for sure.”
Also: Can’t upgrade your Windows 10 PC? Here are your options before it all ends in 3 months
Oh man, did that bring back a flood of unpleasant memories. I encourage you to read that post and look at the number of times I had to update it after Microsoft execs backtracked, revised, hemmed and hawed with every detail of the launch. They then memory-holed the confusing record they had created, doing such a thorough job that even the Internet Archive can’t locate the original documents.
But after doing that research and reading contemporaneous posts from other sources covering the same topic at the same time, I think I know what happened.
When Windows 11 was announced, Microsoft had prepared two sets of system requirements.
- The first set of requirements included detailed CPU compatibility checks as well as the requirement for a TPM 2.0. Microsoft called this the Soft Floor.
- The second set would have allowed any machine that was made for Windows 10 to be upgradeable to Windows 11, although they would see a message warning them that an upgrade is not advised. This was called the Hard Floor, and it would have given PCs built between 2015 and 2018 an upgrade path that would keep them running after Windows 10 support ended in 2025.
Those requirements were public on June 25, 2021, when a Microsoft volunteer moderator on the Windows community discussion forum reassured some anxious questioners that their unsupported processors were a “soft floor requirement.” He even quoted from the Compatibility Cookbook.

The next day, he edited the post to acknowledge that the information was no longer valid and that the referenced pages had been removed. You can see the original text in strikeout mode here:

Oops.
What happened?
I have no inside knowledge about what was going on inside the conference rooms at One Microsoft Way that week, but my guess is that two factions in the executive suite were fighting over what to do with one Windows 11.
One group was holding out for allowing both sets of requirements to coexist so that they could retain Microsoft’s traditional 10-plus-year support lifecycle.
Also: How to do a clean install of Windows 11: See which option is best for you and why
All the documentation that came out around the Windows 11 announcement in June 2021 acknowledged both sets of requirements. The engineers who had been building Windows 11 wanted to release a broad set of compatibility recommendations that discouraged — but did not prohibit — upgrades on older PCs that met the hard floor. “Devices that do not meet the hard floor cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, and devices that meet the soft floor will receive a notification that upgrade is not advised.”
The other group wanted to draw a line in the sand, customers be damned.
Guess who won.
As part of their victory lap, those hard-liners ruthlessly erased every trace of the original requirements, at least in document form. For more than three years, a Microsoft Support page called “Ways to install Windows 11” included detailed instructions on how to modify the registry and create installation media to upgrade Windows 10 PCs that contained at least a TPM 1.2 and had an unsupported CPU. Microsoft removed those instructions in December 2024. (You can find a copy of the original page on the Internet Archive.)
But it didn’t remove the registry keys and other workarounds that had made it possible to upgrade those older but still functional Windows PCs so they could have their normal 10-plus years of life. You can still use those small tweaks today to install and run Windows 11 on hardware that met the “hard floor” requirements. (That’s Option 1 in my guide: “How to upgrade your ‘incompatible’ Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 – 2 free options.”)
Also: How to clear the cache on your Windows 11 PC (and why you shouldn’t wait to do it)
Blocking those perfectly functional machines from upgrading was rude, it was thoughtless, and it was, from a purely capitalist point of view, an amazingly effective way to alienate a huge proportion of your customer base.
Why did this happen?
Hundreds of millions of PCs that are running Windows 10 today can’t be upgraded to Windows 11 using supported tools. How many? Who knows? My best guess is that about 50% of the Windows 10 installed base is ineligible for an upgrade, which adds up to at least 500 million PCs — maybe a couple hundred million more, if you believe Microsoft’s optimistic numbers.
For PCs in managed corporate environments, Microsoft can squeeze out $427 per machine for a three-year subscription to the Extended Security Updates program, or convince those customers to upgrade to new hardware or move those workloads to cloud-based Windows 365 PCs. Either strategy will put money in Microsoft’s pocket.
Also: 6 things I always do after setting up Windows 11 – and why you should too
As for consumers and small, unmanaged businesses, well, y’all have been an afterthought for the past four years. But the prospect of having all those machines suddenly cut off from security updates runs the risk of creating a security nightmare at the end of this year. So, in a move that any reasonable person could have predicted four years ago, Microsoft in late June caved — not by extending the end-of-support date for Windows 10 but by agreeing to give away one-year ESU subscriptions to consumers with Microsoft accounts who are willing to jump through a few hoops.
That doesn’t solve the problem. It just kicks the can down the road for 12 months and gives consumers and small businesses something to be even more confused about. I expect to receive an avalanche of email this fall from people unsure about their options and nervous about whether it’s safe to keep using their old, perfectly good PC. Some of them will simply pay the $30.
And let’s be clear: If these requirements are really about security, then why is Microsoft willing to take money from its business customers to allow it to keep delivering updates to the “insecure” older operating system for three full years after the end-of-support date? And why is it limiting individual customers and small businesses, who are running the same OS on identical hardware, to a one-year extension?
Also: 7 quick ways to make Windows 11 less annoying right now
It’s almost like Microsoft thinks those small-fry customers are more trouble than they’re worth, just a headache. It can squeeze out some revenue by making Windows more annoying, but those commercial/enterprise customers are a much more dependable and lucrative source of revenue.
Bottom line: It didn’t have to be this way. Microsoft could have chosen to roll out Windows 11 in a more traditional way, giving a compatibility break to older machines. Instead, it chose this path. And now it’s paying the price.

Return to Moria developer Free Range Games has laid off 80 people
The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria developer Free Range Games has reportedly laid off the entire development team of an unannounced game, which totaled around 80 employees.
Via LinkedIn, multiple developers shared the news and announced their job searches over the past week. This includes senior UX/UI designer Quinn Le, senior technical narrative designer James Binns, executive producer Jacob Van Rooyen, quest designer Tracy Runanin-Telle, and senior producers Adrienne Daniel and Joseph Knox.
“On Monday, the project I’ve been working on for the last 4 years was pulled from our hands, and our entire development team was laid off,” Lee wrote. “We are all saddened, off-balance, but most of all, looking to the future.”
Knox said that the project had “its publisher pull funding,” which has affected “80 devs.” Daniel also mentioned this figure in their farewell post. Runanin-Telle’s profile mentions an unannounced project, in which the designer did “content creation for multiple quests in an open-world setting,” amidst a myriad of other tasks.
Free Range Games is yet to make an announcement acknowledging the latest reported layoffs. Two weeks ago, at least five developers wrote a post saying they were now seeking new work opportunities. Four of them used the same messaging, which reads as follows: “Hi everyone! I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. If you hear of any opportunities or just want to catch up, please send me a message or comment below.”
Shortly after, one of them, lead quest designer Adam Alim, wrote, “here we are again with the layoffs,” sharing details about their past experience alongside a portfolio.
Free Range Games previously laid off employees in April 2025
According to the company’s LinkedIn profile, there are at least 117 employees associated with it. The reported layoffs mark the second time the company has let go of workers this year. The first took place three months ago, which the studio announced via social media.
The company didn’t disclose the exact number of employees affected in the earlier layoffs, but it did say that “some of them” had “chosen to share their profiles” along with the announcement. The list included 13 people across multiple departments.
The studio is currently working on an online skateboarding game called Wrekless, which is set to release “soon” on Steam Early Access. It’s unclear if this is the project that was reportedly shut down. The studio has previously served as an external developer on games like The Callisto Protocol and Oddworld: Soulstorm.
Game Developer has reached out to Free Range Games for comment on the matter.

The end of the Universe could come much sooner than expected
Scientists have long predicted that the Universe’s lifetime is effectively forever – specifically, 101100 years.
But scientists from Radboud University have found that the Universe is decaying much quicker than previously thought, calculating that the last remnants of stars will perish in just 1078 years instead.
More mind-bending science
Credit: Marck Garlick / Science Photo Library / Getty Images “The ultimate end of the Universe comes much sooner than expected, but fortunately it still takes a very long time,” says Heino Falcke, black hole expert and lead scientist on the research.
The researchers arrived at this shorter timeframe by considering evaporation due to Hawking radiation.

Hawking radiation, proposed by Stephen Hawking in 1974, is a phenomenon where particles and radiation can escape from the immense gravitational pull of a black hole.
If a black hole is emitting particles and radiation, it means that over time it will decay.
Contentious among physicists, the theory implies a rare contradiction with Einstein’s theory of relativity, which suggests black holes can only grow.
The 1078 figure represents the time it would take for a white dwarf star to decay when considering the impact of Hawking radiation.
White dwarfs are the dense, final evolution of stars that aren’t big enough to form black holes or neutron stars, and represent the most long-lived objects in the Universe.

But what does the end of the Universe look like?
Its ultimate fate is still unclear to scientists, but can be boiled down to three main candidates: freeze, crunch or rip.
The research by Falcke and his team fits into the Big Freeze picture: all the matter and energy in the Universe will eventually evaporate, spreading out into an endless, timeless void (or ‘heat death’).
That’s hardly a cheering thought, but it’s one that shouldn’t give us too much to worry about; 1078 years is still vastly longer than the current age of the Universe from the Big Bang to today: 13.89 years.
The team hope to use this interdisciplinary study – which brought together mathematicians, quantum physicists and astrophysicists – to learn more about the Universe’s mysteries.
“By asking these kinds of questions and looking at extreme cases, we want to better understand the theory, and perhaps one day, we will unravel the mystery of Hawking radiation,” concludes Walter van Suijlekom, co-author of the study.
When our current Universe ends, could we simply hop across to another? Credit: David Wall / Getty Images A Universe reboot?
Words: Chris Lintott
Cheer up, there’s no need to let the sooner-than-expected decay of the last stellar remnants get you down!
Even when the cosmos is no more than a sea of expanding radiation and particles, we’ll still get to witness the never-before-seen and incredibly rare process of proton decay play out.
Only once the last proton goes pop will we reach the final state of the Universe.
But, like an ageing movie franchise, the story might not be over.
Some cosmologists believe our Universe might produce daughter universes.
So instead of being stuck in this decaying cosmos, we can jump across to a reboot and experience the exciting first 25 billion years or so again and again and again.

Convexity Commonplace in Both Human and Machine Learning, Researchers Say — and Could Boost AI
Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark believe that artificial and natural intelligences may share more in common than we thought, at least in terms of the way they learn — thanks to a concept called “convexity.”
“We’ve developed new tools to measure convexity within the complex latent spaces of deep neural networks,” explains first author Lenka Tětková of the team’s work. “We tested these measures across various AI models and data types: images, text, audio, human activity, and even medical data. And we found that the same geometric principle that helps humans form and share concepts — convexity — also shapes how machines learn, generalise, and align with us.”
Researchers suggest that “convexity,” in which related ideas form shared conceptual spaces, may apply to both human and machine learning. (📷: Tětková et al)
The concept of “convexity” in cognitive science was originally proposed by Peter Gärdenfors, and is based on the mathematical concept of the same name — but rather than applying to geometry is instead used to refer to the formation of “conceptual spaces,” or “convex regions,” where related ideas cluster together. It’s key to the way the human mind can generalize from a small number of examples — and may also apply to how machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML and AI) models are trained, too.
“We found that convexity is surprisingly common in deep networks and might be a fundamental property that emerges naturally as machines learn,” says project lead Lars Kai Hansen. “Imagine that a concept, say, a cat, forms a nice, well-defined convex region in the machine before it’s even taught to identify cats specifically. Then it’s more likely to learn to identify cats accurately later on. We believe this is a powerful insight, because it suggests that convexity might be a useful indicator of a model’s potential for specific learning tasks.”
By scoring models based on their convexity, it may be possible to better understand — and improve — AI models. (📷: Tětková et al)
“By showing that AI models exhibit properties (like convexity) that are fundamental to human conceptual understanding,” Tětková continues, “we move closer to creating machines that ‘think’ in ways that are more comprehensible and aligned with our own. This is vital for building trust and collaboration between humans and machines in critical applications like healthcare, education, and public service. “While there’s still much to explore, the results suggest that the seemingly abstract idea of convexity may hold the key to unlocking new secrets on AI’s internal workings and bringing us closer to intelligent and human-aligned machines.”
The team’s work, which was part of a Novo Nordisk Foundation-funded project dubbed “Cognitive Spaces — Next Generation Explainable AI,” has been published in the journal Nature Communications under open-access terms.

Sindh seeks WHO help to combat mosquito virus outbreak
The Sindh government has officially contacted the World Health Organization (WHO) to help control the worsening outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases across the province, especially in Karachi.
Due to recent rains, large pools of stagnant water have formed, leading to a sharp increase in mosquitoes across Sindh, which has caused a surge in dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.
In a letter to the WHO, the Sindh Health Department requested urgent technical assistance for case management, diagnosis, medical staff training, and indoor insecticide spraying in high-risk areas.
Officials warned that the virus outbreak could spiral out of control if not handled immediately. They stressed the need for strong international cooperation and expert support from global health bodies.
READ: Malaria, Dengue cases surge across Sindh, Karachi worst affected
So far this year, over 65,000 malaria cases and around 300 dengue cases have been reported across Sindh. Karachi, in particular, has seen a dangerous spike in mosquito-related illnesses.
The Health Department said that monsoon rains have worsened the crisis. Pools of rainwater and garbage are creating perfect conditions for mosquito breeding in many urban neighborhoods.
The lack of proper spraying campaigns has made the situation worse. The Health Department said local resources are not enough, which is why they have reached out to the WHO for help.
Health experts have urged citizens to take basic precautions, such as closing windows, removing stagnant water, and using mosquito repellents, especially in the evenings and during night hours.
Doctors also advised people to keep drinking water covered and avoid outdoor activities at night, when mosquitoes are most active and dangerous.
The provincial government said the WHO’s help is essential to control the spread, protect vulnerable communities, and avoid a full-blown public health emergency in the coming weeks.

Ugandan military helicopter crashes at Somalia’s Aden Adde airport in Mogadishu
A Ugandan military helicopter crashed and caught fire at the main international airport in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, killing five people on board.
The pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer survived with “serious injuries and severe burns”, Ugandan military spokesman Maj Gen Felix Kulaigye said, adding that an investigation into the cause of the crash was under way.
“We heard the blast and saw smoke and flames over a helicopter. The smoke entirely covered the helicopter,” Farah Abdulle, one of the staff at the airport, told Reuters news agency.
Somalia’s state-run news agency reported that the fire was quickly contained by the emergency services at the Aden Adde International Airport.
Ugandan troops are part of an 11,000-strong African Union (AU) force helping the government fight the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group, which has been waging a brutal insurgency in Somalia for more than two decades.
The helicopter that crashed had been conducting a “routine combat escort mission”, Maj Gen Kulaigye said, without giving further details.
The head of the Somali Civil Aviation Authority, Ahmed Maalim, told the BBC that the helicopter had come down in the airport’s military section after flying in from the Balidogle airbase in the Lower Shabelle region, about 90km (56 miles) north-west of Mogadishu.
The crash delayed the departure of a Turkish Airlines passenger plane, but domestic flights continued to operate normally.

Gandapur challenges state to topple K-P govt constitutionally
Listen to article Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has challenged the state, asserting that if it can legally topple his government through constitutional means, he will leave politics if they succeed.
“Don’t do anything unconstitutional — and even through constitutional means, you cannot do anything. Our government, our power, and everything belong to Imran Khan. He can instruct us to topple the government whenever he wishes. Our government cannot be overthrown through constitutional methods,” he said.
Following a meeting of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) parliamentary party, Gandapur held a joint press conference with PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar, Salman Akram Raja, and other leaders on Wednesday.
He described the state, often viewed as a “mother,” as behaving tyrannically. “I challenge the state and all its institutions. You attempted conspiracies and failed. You used unconstitutional means and still could not succeed,” he stated.
“اگر مخالفین سمجھتے ہیں کہ تحریک انصاف کو تقسیم کرنے میں کامیاب ہو گئے ہیں تو ان کی بھول ہے۔ عمران خان ایک سوچ اور نظریے کا نام ہے۔ حقیقی آزادی کی تحریک کے لیے اپنا تن من دھن لگا کر جدوجہد جاری رکھیں گے۔ 9 مئی بہانہ ہے فسطائیت اور سازش اس سے کہیں پہلے سے جاری تھی۔” وزیراعلٰی… pic.twitter.com/wmXSabJ7b8
— PTI (@PTIofficial) July 2, 2025
Gandapur criticised the state’s actions, saying, “You failed in your conspiracies and unconstitutional measures. You imposed martial law and governor’s rule in the past. Now, I challenge your power and authority. Put our people in jail, use all your might, and try to topple the K-P government.”
The CM added that they cannot remove his government through legal and constitutional means because they cannot break his members. “No one has the power to break those who stand with Imran Khan.”
He further stated, “Today’s meeting sends a message to those who think we’re divided. We are fully committed, body and soul, to securing the release of PTI’s founder. I was arrested before May 9. They claim we committed excesses on May 9, but the conspiracy against PTI’s founder began before that.”
Gandapur pointed out that the 26th Constitutional Amendment is an attack on the judiciary, and that PTI will work to reverse it when they return to power.
Regarding a meeting with the incarcerated former PM, he said, “Imran Khan requested a meeting, and it’s our right to meet with him as he is the head of the party. However, I sense that this meeting might not be arranged.”
In response to a question, he said that Imran Khan has never refused to negotiate. “We want to talk to those who truly hold power. Right now, the country is being run with batons, and everyone knows the real worth of the PML-N and PPP.”
Concerning PTI’s future actions, Gandapur announced that the party plans to launch a nationwide political movement after Muharram and will intensify its efforts. He warned, “If bullets are fired at us, the response will be the same, the response will be similar.”
“تحریک انصاف کے مشترکہ پارلیمانی اجلاس میں مخصوص نشستوں کے فیصلے، تحریک اسیران جیل کے خط اور عمران خان کے حکم پر تحریک چلانے پر غور کیا گیا۔ ہم سب عمران خان کی قیادت میں متحد ہیں۔ انشاءاللہ تحریک کا اعلان اور لائحہ عمل جلد عوام کے سامنے آ جائے گا۔” بیرسٹر گوہر علی خان pic.twitter.com/Al4lXFpfTA
— PTI (@PTIofficial) July 2, 2025
During the press conference, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar emphasised that all party actions, including negotiations and protests, have been in line with the directives of the PTI founder.
“We are here because of his vote and his leadership,” he said, adding that the purpose of the meeting was to send a unified message. “Any future plan will be made public only after the founder’s approval,” he added.
He criticised the state’s refusal to allow meetings with the founder for vital matters such as K-P’s budget, noting that similar requests for Sindh, Punjab, and federal consultations were also rejected. “Our MNAs were unseated, references were filed, and sentences were handed out. This is not democracy,” he said.
Gohar concluded by asserting that PTI remains the legitimate government in K-P and dismissed any attempts of a no-confidence motion. “Those seeking to bring down our government simply don’t have the numbers. PTI is and will remain in power,” he said.
Moreover, Salman Akram Raja spoke of long-standing political exploitation and injustice. “For eight decades, this nation has been looted. The people of Pakistan have been silenced,” he said.
Referring to last year’s general elections on February 8, he termed it a “historic day when people exercised their democratic right.” “Our struggle is for dignity and fundamental rights. We will continue to fight the battle of the PTI founder and victory is our destiny,” Raja declared.
