Microsoft's end of Windows 10 support is looming, but hundreds of millions of PCs are still using the last-gen operating system. From October 14, 2025, this will pose a serious problem for users.
An estimated 400 million PCs, including laptops and desktops, are currently still running Windows 10, according to the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) speaking to The Register. However, as noted in a recent report, market analysis group Omdia estimates there are 550 million machines in corporations that still use Windows 10, and half of these can't upgrade to Windows 11.
