Ah, the delight of renting place to live.

Landlord: You cannot take a shower unless you upgrade your bathroom. The pipes now monitor the equipment in use to stop you.

Not to support Microsoft's decision, but I'd say your analogy is backwards. It's more like you can't upgrade your bathroom unless you redo all the pipes (which is somewhat feasible). Your example would say in order to get windows 10, you would have to upgrade your hardware first (which isn't the case).
