Windows 10 Support Ending in October 2025 – What You Need to Know
October 2, 2025
Did you know that Windows 10 support is ending on October 14, 2025? This is a major change from Microsoft that will affect millions of users worldwide.
It will no longer receive security updates, leaving it vulnerable to cyber threats.
Bug fixes and patches will stop, which could cause performance issues over time.
Many new programs and apps may stop supporting Windows 10, limiting what you can run.
Why is upgrading important? Without updates, your computer is at risk. Hackers often target older systems, and once Windows 10 support ends, they’ll know that users are unprotected.
Your options moving forward:
Stay on Windows 10: While we don’t recommend risking it, you can stay on Windows 10 for very light use, but it is very risky for business or online banking.
Upgrade to Windows 11: Keep your system secure, fast, and fully supported with modern features.
Replace your device: Some older PCs don’t meet Windows 11 requirements. In that case, a new PC may be the smarter option.
At Wangaratta & Indigo Computers, we can:
Check if your PC is eligible for a Windows 11 upgrade.
Upgrade your computer safely while keeping your files and settings.
