As of October 14, 2025, if your PC is still running Windows 10, it will be left in an unsecure state and vulnerable to any security holes that are discovered in the OS after that date. ALL Windows 10 users across Home, Pro, and Enterprise editions are impacted by this end-of-support date. Everyone using these editions of Windows 10 will need to take action manually to ensure their devices remain secure beyond October 2025.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to make sure your Windows 10 PC remains for years to come. Microsoft has launched an extended security updates (ESU) program that will let users enroll their PC in receiving extra security updates for another year, until October 12, 2027 for consumers.
