🪟 Windows 10 Support Has Ended — Is Your PC Ready?
Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft no longer provides regular free security updates, software patches, or technical support for Windows 10.
You can still use a Windows 10 PC, but continuing to run an unsupported operating system can leave your computer increasingly exposed to security vulnerabilities and compatibility problems.
What could this mean for you?
- 🔐 Increased exposure to security vulnerabilities
- ⚙️ Software and application compatibility problems
- 📱 Reduced support for newer apps and devices
- 🛠️ Increasing difficulty keeping older hardware and software working reliably
What Can You Do?
-
Upgrade to Windows 11
If your computer meets Microsoft’s hardware requirements, upgrading may be the simplest option. -
Use Extended Security Updates (ESU)
ESU can provide eligible Windows 10 devices with additional security updates for a limited period while you plan your next step. -
Consider replacing the computer
If your PC is older and doesn’t support Windows 11, it may be worth considering a replacement rather than continuing to invest in unsupported hardware. -
Explore alternatives
For some older computers, alternatives such as Linux or ChromeOS Flex may be worth considering.
💾 Don’t Forget Your Data
Whatever option you choose, make sure your important files are backed up before upgrading, replacing, or changing your operating system.
Your photos, documents, business files, and other important data are often worth far more than the computer they’re stored on.
