Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 (lifehacker.com)

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.

... 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.
