Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he'll win.

The thing is on desktop pcs... If someone got physical access to it you don't want to... You got way bigger issues haha

    I'd argue that you now have two major issues. Someone breaking into a house and stealing a desktop isn't unheard of. Full disk encryption with secure boot deployed will save you the headache of also having your identity/bank account/cc info stolen a few days later.

    ... Secure boot has nothing to do with encryption and your data. Bitlocker can work without secure boot https://superuser.com/questions/1200958/does-enabling-bitlocker-require-secureboot

    I mean yeah that's why I made the distinction in my comment... Without secure boot you're still opening yourself up to a whole host of other attack vectors even if you have bitlocker enabled.

    I'd argue that 99,9% don't use full disk encryption cause it's Infact a performance degrading feature.

    And there's nothing to be stolen , all my passwords are in a password manager , all important accounts including the password manager have 2fa.

    If someone isn't a pw manager or 2fa it's all their fault honestly.
