Time to upgrade: Navigating the end of Windows 10 support
After a successful decade-long reign, Microsoft has confirmed Windows 10 will take its final bow in October 2025. As such, they are urging customers to migrate to the latest version of their product or service.
Unfortunately, this transition may not be possible for everyone. Certain hardware compatibility requirements need to be met and if your system does not meet these, upgrading to Windows 11 will just lead to an error message. In such scenarios, it's vital to start thinking about upgrading or replacing your hardware to avoid the last-minute rush.
As the countdown approaches, it's crucial to decide what to do with your Windows 10 PC. While it might seem a bit far into the future, it's never too early to start planning, especially considering the stringent hardware compatibility requirements of its successor, Windows 11.
The reality is when a Windows version reaches the end of its support life, your software continues to work, but the updates stop flowing. But there's no reason to panic or toss out your old laptop just yet, Care Free Computing are here to help.
