A California man is suing Microsoft, alleging that ending Windows 10 support is an anticompetitive move to force users into buying new PCs, creating a captive market for its AI-powered services.
What’s happened? California resident Lawrence Klein has filed a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft.
This is important because: It directly challenges the tech industry practice of phasing out older software and hardware, potentially setting a new legal precedent.
Why should I care? If your current PC runs Windows 10 but can’t upgrade to Windows 11, it will stop receiving free security updates after October 14, leaving it vulnerable to viruses and malware.
