Although previously saying that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows to be released, Microsoft is now encouraging people to increase to Windows 11. The company is a little less aggressive in that compared to Windows 10, most of it because many PCs can support Windows releases the latest in the first place. However, at the end of the opposite spectrum, Microsoft must also move and slowly drop a longer Windows version. After almost a decade since it was launched, that date will come for Windows 8.1, and Microsoft has begun to show a full screen reminder to its users that it’s time to make settings to move to at least Windows 10 in the next six months.
Windows 8.1 is famous for being a Microsoft’s Fix (Speaking Symew) because many criticisms are thrown into Windows 8. It becomes a hybrid between the old and new ones, returning to access to ordinary desktops and provides a more traditional starting menu – but still different – still different – still different – still different – still different – still different – still different – different -. It carries the latest version of Internet Explorer and tries to make a metro application (then modern) more prominent as a way forward, trying to give Windows experience similar to iOS and Android.
Not surprisingly, not everyone is satisfied with the drugs, especially because they make it interrupted between two very clear window versions. It will not reach Windows 10 that Microsoft will eventually get the correct mixture, but for those who are trapped with Windows 8, Windows 8.1 is a stopgap measurement. It is also a safe place for those who are not ready to increase to Windows 10, but security will disappear next year.
Users who grumble about the end of support
According to Bleeping Computer, the latest cumulative renewal for Windows 8.1 Installing what is basically a full screen notification about the retirement of the upcoming operating system. Basically, saying that support for Windows 8.1 ended on January 10, 2023, giving users time to increase to Windows 10 or migrate to other operating systems. However, this is not the time to panic, because this does not mean that their computer will suddenly stop working.
What is the meaning of this EOS is that there will be no more improvement and security patch for Windows 8.1 outside that date, at least not for consumer users. The company’s customers will have a different date of life, but that will eventually come. Windows 8.1 users can continue about their business even after their date if they are good by experiencing potential vulnerability and security bugs that might never be repaired.
This user can increase to Windows 10, but, not surprising, Microsoft recommends the latest Windows 11 version. However, that also means it is necessary to increase the PC because the computer that is launched or upgraded to Windows 8.1 is impossible to meet the minimum absolute Windows 11 hardware requirements. As for those who will remain with Windows 8.1, they have an option to be reminded later or after January 10, 2023. More advanced users can also use registry solutions to silence the reminder forever.
