On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10. When it reaches this “End of Life” (EOL) status, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates, security fixes, or technical support for this version of Windows.  So, what are your options?

Option 1. Continue Using Windows 10 (Not Recommended)

Windows 10 will continue to work after October 14, 2025, but you will no longer receive critical updates. This will leave you more vulnerable to viruses, malware, spyware, and ransomware. Also, some software may no longer work properly or run on your computer.

Option 2. Upgrade to Windows 11 (Recommended)

If you can upgrade to Windows 11, we recommend that you do so before October 14, 2025. Windows 11 includes a number of enhancements that makes Windows easier to use, and it receives regular updates both to add new features and to fix bugs and security issues.

Option 3. Upgrade Your PC
If you are using older equipment, you may find that you need to upgrade to a newer PC.  This would include Windows 11.
