Hey there! Big news in the tech world: Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025.

What Does "End of Support" Mean?

When Microsoft ends support for Windows 10, they will stop providing:

  • Security Updates: No more fixes for security problems.

  • Technical Assistance: Microsoft won't help with Windows 10 issues.

Without these updates, your computer could be at risk from viruses and hackers.

What Should You Do?

To keep your computer safe and running well, consider these options:

  1. Upgrade to Windows 11:

  • Check Compatibility: Not all computers can run Windows 11. To see if yours can, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Windows Update. If it's compatible, you'll see an option to upgrade for free.

  • Benefits: Windows 11 offers better security, new features, and a fresh look.

  1. Buy a New Computer:

  • If your current computer can't run Windows 11, it might be time for a new one. New computers come with Windows 11 and have the latest technology.

  1. Extended Security Updates (ESU):

  • If you need more time before upgrading, Microsoft offers an extra year of security updates for Windows 10 for $30. Enrollment for this program will open in 2025.

Why Upgrade?

Upgrading ensures your computer stays protected against new security threats. Plus, you'll enjoy the latest features and improvements that come with newer versions of Windows.
