## Key points

- M&S’s Oxford Street sign showed a Windows low disk space warning.
- Windows 10 requires at least 32 GB of storage.
- The sign’s specific cause remains unconfirmed.

## Summary

A digital sign outside Marks & Spencer’s Oxford Street food hall displayed a Windows low disk space warning instead of its usual promotional message. The visible glitch turned the screen into an inadvertent advert for the challenges of running a Windows-powered display.

The article suggests Windows 10 may be responsible, though the cause is not confirmed. It notes that Windows 10 LTSC 2021 remains supported until 12 January 2027, while the IoT Enterprise version has support until 13 January 2032; Windows 10 requires at least 32 GB of storage. M&S previously estimated the cost of cleaning up after its 2025 cyber attack at about £136 million.
