Microsoft’s support clock for Windows 10 has a hard stop: after October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer issue routine security or feature updates for Windows 10, and millions of PCs will face a growing security and compatibility risk unless owners act — by upgrading to Windows 11, enrolling...

Microsoft’s deadline for Windows 10 support is now a calendar item that can’t be ignored: after October 14, 2025, security updates and technical support for Windows 10 stop, and any delay in planning your migration increases your exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities. This feature walks through...

Microsoft’s official end-of-support date for Windows 10 — October 14, 2025 — is no longer a distant calendar note: it’s a hard deadline that forces millions of users to choose between upgrading to Windows 11, buying time with Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU), or accepting growing...
Microsoft’s decision to close the chapter on Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 has forced an uncomfortable conversation across homes, small businesses, and enterprise IT floors: pay for a short-term safety net, move to Windows 11, or run the risk of exposure on an unsupported platform.

Dell’s latest quarter reads like a two-act play: a booming data‑center business buoyed by AI-optimized servers that pushed record revenue, and a more muted PC market that — despite an imminent Windows 10 end‑of‑life — is unfolding as a multi‑quarter refresh rather than a single sprint...

The coming October deadline changes the calculus for every IT leader: staying on Windows 10 beyond its end-of-support date will be expensive, risky, and—unless tightly scoped—likely more costly than a focused migration to Windows 11 or a modern cloud-based desktop strategy. Recent analysis from...
