Are you still running Windows 10 on your PC? Starting tomorrow, October 14, Microsoft is moving the software to “end of life” status. What does that mean for you? While Windows 10 PCs will continue to work after that date, they’ll stop getting important security updates by default. That leaves you with three choices if you want to make sure your computer remains secure:
- You can choose to upgrade to Windows 11 for free if your computer is compatible.
- You can buy a new PC that already has Windows 11 pre-installed (or opt for an alternative, like a Mac or a Chromebook).
- Forget about Windows 11 right now and sign up for the Extended Security Updates (ESU), which lets you kick the can down the road for a year.
The last one is easy — and can now be done for free in many cases — so we’ll focus on that one here. We’ll walk you through the steps of keeping Windows 10 on your PC… for now, at least.
