Here is Which.co.uk take on it…
Official support for Windows 10 ends on 14 October 2025, meaning Microsoft will no longer offer fixes, new features or security updates after that date. Unless you take action, you’ll be vulnerable to hackers.
If you have a Windows 10 PC, you’ve likely already have seen notifications informing you about the end of support. For PCs eligible for Windows 11, this includes the option to upgrade for free.
Not all PCs with Windows 10 will have the necessary specs to upgrade, though. And if you have a PC running Windows 7 or 8.1 (or one bought with these and later upgraded to Windows 10), you almost certainly won’t.
Below, our tech experts run through next steps. Plus, we’ve included advice on what specs to look for if you’re shopping for a new laptop or desktop PC.
Why you need security support
Windows updates make sure your PC stays secure through security updates and the latest fixes, so it continues to run properly and stay protected.
After support ends in October, Windows 10 will still function – but it won’t get security updates or fixes. Hackers and criminals often target unsupported software to exploit weaknesses and steal data. You might also find over time that some features or software no longer work on your PC.
Anyone using Windows 10 on their PC will be affected. Around 28% of Which? members* have told us they’re still using Windows 10.
We recommend upgrading when you can. This will keep your data safe and your PC running smoothly.
