Microsoft finally pulled the plug on Windows 10 support, despite multiple requests and petitions to reconsider the decision. The Public interest Research Group (PIRG) claimed that the move would lead to the single biggest jump in junked computers, potentially leaving approximately 500 million PCs unsupported.
The group recently doubled down on its efforts in an attempt to get Microsoft to backtrack its decision. It claimed that ending support for Windows 10 only widens the digital divide gap, leading to a huge spike in electronic waste coupled with increased cybersecurity threats.
