Windows 10 officially reached end of support on October 14, 2025, meaning Microsoft no longer provides security updates, technical assistance, or feature updates. PCs running Windows 10 will continue to function, but they are now more vulnerable to security risks and will no longer receive new features or fixes. Users can upgrade to Windows 11 for free if their PC is eligible, or they can subscribe to the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program to receive security updates for a limited time.
What this means for your Windows 10 PC
· Your PC will continue to work, but it will no longer receive security updates, making it more susceptible to viruses and malware.
· No new features or technical support will be provided.
· Performance may be impacted as the OS ages.
What you should do
· Upgrade to Windows 11: If your PC is eligible, upgrading is the best option for continued security and features. You can check for eligibility through Settings > Privacy and Security > Windows Update.
· Enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program: If your PC is not eligible for Windows 11 or you need more time, you can purchase the ESU program to receive critical security updates through October 13, 2026. This is a subscription service that does not include technical support.
· Transition to a new device: Consider purchasing a new PC with Windows 11 pre-installed for the best and most secure experience.
· Back up your data: It is always a good practice to back up your important files to cloud storage like OneDrive before making any major changes or if you are concerned about your current device.
It is advisable to make the switch to Windows 11 in advance of the EOL date to allow time for installation, training, and buffer in case of unexpected delay. Check to see if your hardware supports the operating system. If it doesn’t, Vincanwo Group has got you covered with dozens of Windows 11 products ready to ship from one of our global locations.
