Consumer Reports has formally asked Microsoft to keep providing free security updates for Windows 10 beyond the company’s announced October 14, 2025 end‑of‑support date, warning that the current one‑year, consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) plan and paid options will leave millions of...

Microsoft’s pitch for Windows 11 promised more than a new skin — it promised a gaming OS that would feel like it was built from the ground up for modern play: Auto HDR to breathe new life into older titles, DirectStorage to make load screens and texture pop-in fade into memory, and tighter Xbox...

Microsoft has given Windows 10 users a narrow, conditional lifeline: you can keep receiving security updates after the OS’s official end-of-support date — but only if you complete a short, specific checklist and enroll in the consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) pathway before the deadline...

Microsoft’s countdown clock is now real: with just weeks to go until Microsoft stops issuing security updates and routine support for Windows 10, organisations and home users face a concrete deadline — October 14, 2025 — and must act now to avoid rising exposure and operational disruption...

Windows 10 will stop receiving free security fixes on October 14, 2025 — and if your PC can’t take the free Windows 11 upgrade, you have five realistic paths forward: enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU), buy or rent a new Windows 11 PC (including cloud PCs), perform an unsupported upgrade...

Microsoft pushed Windows 10 cumulative update KB5065429 to 22H2 machines this week, a mandatory security rollup that arrives as the platform approaches its October 14, 2025 end‑of‑support deadline — and it’s tightly linked to Microsoft’s consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) enrollment path...

Microsoft’s October deadline for Windows 10 support has arrived like a ringing bell for an industry that—by several measures—wasn’t ready: large numbers of consumer and corporate endpoints still run Windows 10, many organisations face compatibility and budget constraints, and the safety net...

Microsoft’s next major Windows refresh was no surprise by the time of its official unveiling: after weeks of leaks and rumor traffic, the company revealed a redesigned operating system on June 24 that would become Windows 11 — a visual and strategic reset of Windows intended to modernize the...

Windows 10’s official life support is scheduled to end on October 14, 2025, and that approaching deadline has pushed a simple but urgent question into the spotlight: if you’re still on Windows 10, what Windows 11 machine should you buy next? Tom’s Guide’s recent roundup narrows the field to five...

Windows 10’s sudden rebound in usage just weeks before end of support has shifted the migration narrative: a late-month rise in Windows 10’s market share has narrowed the gap with Windows 11, exposing a fragmented upgrade landscape that will complicate Microsoft’s push to consolidate users on...

Borderlands 4’s PC system requirements have arrived, and they mark a clear shift: Gearbox and 2K are treating the PC edition as a modern‑hardware first release, demanding eight CPU cores, a large SSD footprint, and mid‑to‑high‑end graphics hardware even at the stated minimum tier. Background...

Microsoft has set the long-awaited public rollout of Windows 11 in motion: the OS began its phased public release on October 5, 2021, as a free upgrade for eligible Windows 10 PCs and as the factory-installed operating system on new devices shipping with Windows 11. Background Microsoft framed...

Flyoobe’s latest preview shifts the debate about Windows 11 on legacy hardware from a grisly game of installer hacks to a full-featured, user‑centric installer and Out‑Of‑Box Experience (OOBE) customizer — and it arrives with an explicit promise: install Windows 11 on devices Microsoft considers...

Microsoft has set a firm deadline: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025, and that hard date turns a decade‑old desktop platform into an active security and operational risk for any system still running it unless organizations act now. Microsoft’s public guidance is straightforward —...

Borderlands 4’s official PC system requirements have arrived — and they push the franchise into a distinctly modern‑PC envelope: an eight‑core CPU minimum, 16 GB RAM baseline, an RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT‑class GPU at minimum, and a headline 100 GB SSD install, with recommended specs climbing to 32...

Borderlands 4 arrives on PC alongside consoles on September 12, 2025, and Gearbox’s published PC system requirements make one thing clear: this is a modern‑PC title that expects eight physical CPU cores, fast NVMe storage, and a GPU with 8–12+ GB of VRAM just to be comfortably playable at...

StatCounter’s August 2025 snapshot produced a deceptively simple headline — Windows 11 slipped below 50% of desktop Windows installations while Windows 10 regained ground — but the data behind that headline, and what it means for users and IT teams as Windows 10 support ends in October, require...

Borderlands 4’s PC system requirements are out, and they raise the bar for midrange rigs: Gearbox and 2K list an RTX 2070 or RX 5700 XT as the minimum GPU, an Intel Core i7-9700 or Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, 16 GB of RAM as the baseline, and a 100 GB SSD install, while the recommended spec jumps to an...
