    Millions yes, millions of people are still running Windows 10, with some estimates saying it powers around 70% of Windows desktops. So why the big push to force everyone onto Windows 11? It practically screams, “Throw your perfectly good hardware in the trash.” This reckless approach will generate more e-waste and leave plenty of people scrambling to replace machines that still run just fine.

  3. 6303c - Forcing Firmware Update v10

    Hi All



    I got a 6303 as it's listed on BMW as being 100% compliant with incar bluetooth. Sadly Orange have branded the phone which means that it's stuck on v9.40 and NSU shows no updates as being available.



    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can force a firmware update to v10 and whether it will damage the phone?



    Any suggestion much appreciated.
