FULL STORY ======================================================================

Today, October 14, 2025, is the day Windows 10 enters its End of Life phase, which means Microsoft will no longer officially support the operating system
- which means it'll no longer get new features, bug fixes or security
patches.

Despite being over 10 years old, there are still millions of PC users using Windows 10, and Microsoft is understandably keen to get people to move to Windows 11. If you're still using Windows 10, you'll have likely been bombarded with notifications encouraging you to upgrade.

It's not just Microsoft that wants you to stop using Windows 10 - rival companies like Apple have sensed an opportunity to win over Windows 10 users looking to buy a new device.

This can all lead to a rather confusing time for Windows 10 users about what risks there are to sticking with Windows 10, and what your next move should be. Never fear, however, as we're here to help.

Our Windows 10 End of Life guide gathers together all the information you
need - including a free built-in tool that can help you figure out if you're able to upgrade your current device to Windows 10 (and what to do if you cannot upgrade). We are also running this live blog throughout the day with expert opinion, tips, and more, to help make Windows 10's End of Life as easy to understand as possible. (Image credit: Shutterstock)
