Opinion | Microsoft, tactically admitting it has failed at talking all the Windows 10 PC users into moving to Windows 11 after all, is – sort of, kind of – extending Windows 10 support for another year.

For most users, that means they'll need to subscribe to Microsoft 365. This, in turn, means their data and meta-information will be kept in a US-based datacenter. That isn't sitting so well with many European Union (EU) organizations and companies. It doesn't sit that well with me or a lot of other people either.

According to microsoft, as an enterprise (and other factors) you can buy Advanced Data Residency add-on (ADR) such that your data resides in the country of your choice, not the US.

I'm just stating that the article is stretching facts. There are other sentences as well but I don't want to bother too much writing it all down.
