It’s been discussed at length that Windows 10's end-of-life could make for a massive environmental disaster for several reasons, but there’s a possible solution hiding in one of Google’s secret weapons.
The first reason is the overwhelming amount of users still on Windows 10, as Statcounter previously reported that by the end of 2023 two-thirds (67%) of all Microsoft OS installs were Windows 10, with only just over a quarter (27%) being Windows 11. The second reason is that even for those who may want to convert over, Windows 11’s strict spec requirements continue to be a major hurdle for older computers. And any of these older machines that lack Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 security functionality most likely won’t be recycled either.
