What Happens When Windows 10 Support Ends?

Hope this has been helpful, drop us a LIKE 👍

my pc should be compatible with windows 11 but windows update say im up to date on windows 10 so i'll just stay like that

My shool laptops run on win 7 or 8 still

I think if you use a software package called Advanced System Care you can still get security updates for Windows Defender by scanning for secutity holes and vulnerabilities. it has got its own updater that works anyway. I think so anyway but I may be wrong. If not your going to have to install another anti virus program. Also I heard that Win 10 enterprise was going to be getting updates until 2032.

Windows 11 have so many problems, mendeley citation plug in is not working correctly after i upgrade to windows 11.

I don't like both Microsoft and Win 11 -_- . I hope there will be another option that free and cheap to replace this OS

What happens when they stop support for Windows 10? Microsoft make more money!

better prepare today by backing up all updates/fixes/etc you can

Most of my computers, except for one, don't support 11, but I'm not too worried. About 3 months ago, I was given 2 older laptops running Windows 8 that I promptly installed Different distros of Linux on, so I could teach myself the ins and outs of it with nothing to lose, and while I still have a lot to learn about using them at the command line level, the GUI is pretty simple for anyone who has used any modern Windows PC, or MAC OS.

Just get over it and switch to 11 when the support ends. There is very little difference in between 10 and 11.

As for me, it is either buy a Mac or switch to Linux.

when windows 10 support stops will be the year of linux

I used Win XP for more than 10 years after MS dropped support. Everyeone said that I will get a virus and crash etc, not even close, the big players such as Facebook, Google, etc actually checked for the OS, and if you were running Win XP, you would get a message that said, "unsupported operating system," it would stop running that software. I suspect that the new Windows supported some kind of spyware etc, and those folks can not implement it unless running on somewhat current Windows.

I remember I was so hyped up when about 8~9 years ago I heard of how windows 10 would be the last version of windows. When it's launched, I started to buy it for many of my older computers. I even promoted it to my friends and explained to them why they should buy windows 10.
Now aside of I have to say sorry to them that have unsupported device for windows 11, I promise I will help them to crack their windows 11 installation on their unsupported devices.

windows 10 ends before i change to 11 I will be using Chromebook and/or Android. I won't be held captive by Microsoft any longer

Well then we get windows 11 support...

And you cannot connect to any online games DOTA 1 & 2 LOL Gameranger

windwos 11 is shit dont upgrade plz

❤ The solution is to turn the key and migrate to FSF and GNU Linux, without going back to Microsoft stations.

Microsoft is a well of lies. Better get rid of this predatory supercompany and embrace Linux

omg, get Win11.

Dont think it will be the end of the world. People will probably still use there old machines.

I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux for several years. It looks nothing like Windows; it’s much simpler, but works as well. It’s backed by a generous trust fund set up to ensure its future. Most Linux variants have lower hardware requirements than Windows, so you won’t have to run out and buy a new computer when Microsoft shoots itself in the foot. Along with any Linux come free open source software (FOSS) that replaces most of the Microsoft and Adobe products, and will save files to the formats of the commercial applications, so you can work with those who haven’t seen the light. There are several very good Web sites about FOSS, to help you make the break.

Remember the movie "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman. "Benjamin...I have just one word to say to you...just one word...Linux".

Ask Microsoft how much would it cost to provide security patch's only - not any feature updates (not that matters anyway with hackers) for Windows 10. Then add that cost into operating system pricing.

i dont care i have a very capaple computer ready for 11 but 11 sucks balls man

Need to be pretty stupid to even think about Windows. Specially new ones 😂

My last Window was 7 and that's it.

I heard that Windows 10 machines will catch fire once it's end of life.

As a person still using Windows 7 in 2023.
What will happen when support ends? Nothing.
It keeps working.
I never downloaded the updates anyway.

I tried to put Zorin 16 on my laptop, but it failed. I put the distro on a USB using Balina Etcher and then booted from that. The Ventoy USB I used overwrote my Win 10 but would not put Zorin on the pc, so I used the Zorin off of the USB for a while. Eventually I put Win 10 back on and all is well now but who knows about the future?

Windoes 10 forever

2023 still using windows 10, since my PC doesn't support Windows 11. I'll stay with windows 10 until i buy new PC in the end of 2024 :D

It is crap Microsoft wont support older still usable pcs.

Win 10 release 2015. 10 year support perid is pretty much typical for most commercial systems. Cannot complain that. It was really the misleading "win q0will be last release"

Vista should have been the last version to support 32 bit. Sometime after 12, they might make the next tier 128 bit version of windows. It was supposed to happen a lot earlier.

Oh so that's why windows 10 stopped booting up. That sucks.

Windows 11 has end of support on 2024. You will be make your version back to windows 10.

Going from 10 to 11 isn't an upgrade. 😕

I installed Linux Mint in my 15 year old laptop. I know it's not gonna even support the minimum specs required for Windows 11. So I used the time to get acquainted with Linux for a year. And then saved enough money to build my new and current PC running on Windows 11.

P.S. by 2025 windows 12 will be here.

Windows 10 is what my whole school uses and the laptops don't even come close to support even there new 2023 laptops are barely an upgrade, and so my school is doomed, because I will still be in school.

I can’t update to windows 11 because the system it says that i’m not connected to the internet 🤔 but all wifi networks are not the ones I use. My networks are not listed.

Been a Linux user for the last three years and made the switch when Microsoft started to put ads into File Explorer. A few of the best tips to have a great Linux experience are to get an AMD graphics card. I have a 6900XT and it only required the installation of one package and I haven't had to deal w/ drivers for over a year. All of my games work either w/ Wine or Proton and it's only been getting better because of the Steam Deck.

For new users, don't go with any fancy distributions, instead go with the two largest support bases for 90% of the Linux ecosystem; Debian or Arch. 90% of the Linux ecosystem is the same as they're all running on either of these two, just with most of the choices made for you. Functionally, they're all the same.

Linux should make a os that support any device and same functionality of windows and all apps compatible. Even paid version people will buy it as long it will support until the machine dies.

For me Windows 11 seems to work fine on my PC, All it does wrong is my Mouse feels slower on Windows 11 than Windows 10, everything else is pretty much fine.

Windows 11 should be illegal. People dont want a Microsoft account, and they want to be able to work offline if they have to. Microsoft is a monopoly that needs to be broken up, Linux and Mac are not realistic alternatives for most people and businesses

Ok then, I have windows 7 home prem but that isn't my problem my problem is my laptop has been upgraded to windows 8.1 and then windows 10 Pro so can I install windows 11 on it?? My laptop is very old can I install windows 11 on it or not?

Windows 11 looks better than Windows 10. It reminds me of Windows XP because of the Windows rounded corners and its side panels like in Windows XP.

They’ve been supporting my win 8.1 for 12 years. No more updates. To bad I love it.
I use duck duck go. As my browser now.

Better have a good virus scanner, spam blocker firewall and use the OS which works with your owned software/games and system. The moment I stop gaming, I stop using Windows and shift to Linux/Suse/Ubuntu/Mandrake or whatever, anything except Windows.
