Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 this fall, bringing this edition of the operating system to the end of its life cycle. From then on, you will no longer receive security updates, technical support or bug fixes. Those who continue to use the system after the deadline will be more exposed to security threats.
For months, Microsoft has been aggressively encouraging users to buy new hardware due to Windows 11 system requirements before Windows 10 support ends. Despite this, according to StatCounter data, Windows 10 is still the most popular version, and Microsoft is understandably trying to divert users with as many devices as possible, even exaggerating that “upgrading an old Windows 10 PC will be more important this year, like buying a new TV or smartphone”.
