When Microsoft puts out a notice saying that Windows 10 is obsolete and soon will no longer get security updates (scary) then many Americans will do the path of least resistance: buy a new PC with Windows 11 already installed.
Many people don't have space to store an old computer. Many people don't have time to try to sell it on ebay or FB marketplace. So they will again follow the path of least resistance: throw it away.
Sure, some people will donate it. But even then there's so much old working computer stuff in the USA that my high school wouldn't even accept more.
The old working computer storage room was full.
The situation is unfortunate but it's not because people are needlessly wasteful or uncaring. They're just trying to survive and live their lives and Microsoft told them their working thing doesn't work anymore.
