Chocolate Caterpillar or Chocolate Teapot? Top up the disk space for Windows 10 to find out

London's Oxford Street signage shows its underwear to passing tourists

Chocolate Caterpillar or Chocolate Teapot? Top up the disk space for Windows 10 to find out

A peculiar sign outside a Marks & Spencer store on London's Oxford Street has caught the attention of passersby. Usually used to lure customers inside with enticing treats, this particular sign requires a different kind of interaction - feeding it with additional disk space. The storage issue appears to be affecting Windows 10, specifically the long-term support version 21H2 LTSC.

Although Windows 10 LTSC 2021 is expected to receive support until January 12, 2027, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 until January 13, 2032, the need for increased disk space remains puzzling. The sign's presence seems excessive for a food hall advertisement, especially considering the operating system's reputation for reliability - or lack thereof.
