Windows 10 news as Microsoft could soon FORCE you to upgrade

Windows 10 is Microsoft’s most recent flagship OS, but it has faced an uphill battle to overtake older versions.

At the start of this year the Redmond-based tech giant were dealt a big blow as stats showed Windows 7 was more popular than Windows 10 in 2017.

This is despite Windows 7 being released back in July 2009 and it fast approaching the date support will finally end for the ageing OS.

In fact, last year Windows 7 was the world’s most popular operating system, ending 2017 with a hefty 43.08 per cent chunk of the OS market.

According to NetMarketShare stats, the newer Windows 10 lagged behind its older sibling with a 32.93 per market share.

But it looks like Microsoft are ramping up their efforts to draw more PC fans to Windows 10 and make it the number one operating system in the world.

The Redmond based tech giant have announced that the upcoming Microsoft Office 2019 software suite will ONLY work on Windows 10.

Microsoft Office is, for many people, the only place to turn to when they're looking for a good word processor, spreadseet programme or e-mail manager.

Making Office 2019 only available on Windows 10 means upgrading to Microsoft’s latest OS will be essential for many PC fans running an older version of the operating system.
