If you look at Microsoft’s history, some versions of Windows are very popular, others are big failures.
Windows 11 today belongs to the category that is not very well received. Today, almost twice as many computers around the world use its predecessor, Windows 10 – which was launched nine years ago.
Not even in Norway have we thrown ourselves at the latest edition. according to Accounts Payable it was only in September this year that Windows 11 almost surpassed its predecessor.
This is still not so much about what people wishes be on: Microsoft has tightened the security requirements to be allowed to update. In order to be allowed to upgrade to Windows 11, the computer must have a feature (Trusted Platform Model 2.0) that was not very common until Windows 11 was launched in 2021.
That’s why so many people sit with him computers more than good enoughr, who uses Windows 10 and is happy with it.
But Microsoft has no plans to continue supporting both operating systems forever. And in October next year, Microsoft has said it will end all support for Windows 10 – including security updates.
The devices still technically work, but when security holes are no longer patched, the risk of attacks such as ransomware increases.
If your computer does not support the minimum requirements, you have few options but to buy a new computer or install Linux.
PS! Microsoft name this week that for the first time it will offer a one-year, paid extension of critical security updates to individuals, but bug fixes won’t appear here either.
Falling in the struggle to position himself
This is a transition that every major computer manufacturer wants to jump on, and sales are already started to grow. We are now in the midst of a violent launch period for new products.
Intel and AMD have just released new processor generations. And Nvidia is expected to launch a large number of graphics cards over the New Year.
In addition, a completely new type of processor – the same type used in mobile phones and MacBooks – is now also available for the first time for Windows.
So far, a lot of this No it all went according to plan.
We can start with the ARM introduction. It has been going well in every waybeing the product of the first generation.
But that was until the giant Qualcomm – which is famous for making processors for Android phones – suddenly lost the license to make its processors last week. What will happen in this saga further is just uncertain.
The giant Nvidia is supposed to have a similar solution in the works, but it is supposed not to be ready by then in a year.
Intel in crisis with disappointing launch
Last week, Intel unveiled the new generation of processors, called Core 200.
This was a very important launch for a company in dire straits with massive downsizing. The company to Recent generations of processors have had a bug that causes irreparable damage to them.
And tests published by the world’s leading technology websites show that the performance is there partially disappointed and the recommendations are to buy something else.
It does a good job on certain types of tasks, but the big headlines have been stolen because it’s dedicated to gaming decline in performance compared to the previous generation.
Big yawn when AMD launched big news
It follows that AMD launched the new generation of processors – called Zen 5 or Ryzen 9000 – which also ended. he met with a big hug.
The yawn was so great that it was the price of enthusiastic processors of a previous generation greatly increased. It is a very bad sign.
There is now little hope that the so-called “X3D” editions of AMD’s new processors will save the release. It will happen on November 7th.
This publication is concerned Forbes:
– The concern is that AMD can in practice charge any price they want for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, especially if it performs as well as expected, they write, based on the performances another disappointment.
Nvidia delayed
It has been rumored for some time that Nvidia also had big things in store this fall, with the launch of the new generation of GeForce graphics cards – which share a lot with the company’s specialized AI chips.
But earlier this year it was announced that the launch would be delayed due to a design flaws that need to be fixed.
Now it is expected that Nvidia will release its new processors at a speech at a speech at the CES fair in Las Vegas at the beginning of January.
So far, little is known about the new cards, however rumors are flying in all directions.
There is fear in the market despite the fact that the price could be very high – especially for the main editions. AMD announced earlier this year that it would let Nvidia keep the top end of the market for itself.
– It may affect the prices of Nvidia flagship models in the future. With less competition, customers will be able to see higher prices for these top models, write Guru3D earlier this year.
