Microsoft is being sued for killing Windows 10 - here are 5 reasons why the lawsuit could actually force its hand to extend support further

SMRTR summary

A California resident has sued Microsoft for ending Windows 10 support too early, claiming it violates consumer laws and creates potential e-waste issues. The lawsuit argues that with 43% of users still on Windows 10 and approximately 240 million devices unable to meet Windows 11's hardware requirements, Microsoft should extend support until fewer people use the older system. While Microsoft has offered a free extension option until October 2026, the lawsuit could pressure the company to make further concessions.
