Still using Windows 10? Microsoft officially ended support on October 14, 2025, but that doesn't mean you need to panic or rush to buy a new computer. While your PC will continue working, it's now missing critical security updates that protect against new threats.
Fortunately, Microsoft has created a path to extend these vital updates for another year. Though initially announced as a $30 service, most US users can now access this extension completely free through a straightforward enrollment process. This provides you with a full 12 months to decide your next move, whether that's upgrading to Windows 11 or shopping for new hardware.
