It's official. As of October 14, Windows 10 has reached its end of life, with Microsoft encouraging millions to upgrade to Windows 11. That means no more free feature updates, security fixes or technical assistance for the operating system.
Well, time isn't completely up, as the Extended Security Update (ESU) program gives the older OS an extra year of life. This is crucial, as it provides security updates for Windows 10 to keep your PC at risk of becoming vulnerable to malware, viruses, cyber threats and more.
