Microsoft's official support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. After this date, PCs running Windows 10 will no longer receive free software updates, security fixes, technical assistance, or feature updates. While the system will continue to function, it will become more vulnerable to security threats and malware, and its performance may degrade. To stay secure, you should upgrade to Windows 11 if your PC is eligible, consider purchasing a new Windows 11 PC, or explore the one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for an additional cost. 
What Happens After October 14, 2025?

• No more security updates: 
  Your PC will be exposed to new vulnerabilities without regular security patches. 
• No technical support: 
  Microsoft will no longer offer customer service or assistance for Windows 10. 
• Potential performance issues: 
  Your device may experience slower performance and functionality. 
• Software compatibility: 
  Some software may eventually stop working on an unsupported operating system. 

Your Options to Stay Secure

1. Upgrade to Windows 11: 
   If your PC meets the system requirements, you can upgrade to Windows 11 for free via the Windows Update settings. 
2. Purchase a new PC: 
   For PCs that are not eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade, consider buying a new device designed for Windows 11. 
3. Enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) Program: 
   A one-year paid ESU program is available for eligible Windows 10 PCs to provide ongoing security updates. 
4. Practice Safe Computing: 
   Implement safe computing practices, which include being cautious with downloads and clicking on suspicious links, to help protect your system.
