Microsoft just announced that the company will stop supporting Windows 10 this coming October 2025.

The software giant said that “after October 14th 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates, technical assistance amd security fixes for Windows 10.”

The company added that PC running Windows 10 “will still work” but they recommend upgrading to Windows 11 is possible.

Modern PC supports Windows 11 and uprading to the latest Windows OS is free. But if you are like me using a 10 year old laptop, then the onlu course of action is to buy a new computer running Windows 11 right out of the box.
