The desktop war over what happens to millions of older Windows PCs after October’s Windows 10 end‑of‑support deadline has produced a surprising — if predictable — pattern: rather than switching en masse to Linux, many owners of unsupported machines appear to be following the route Microsoft and...

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...

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...

Battlefield 6’s updated PC specs make one thing clear: you can play the game on a surprisingly wide range of hardware, but maxing it out will still demand modern, high-end components — and you’ll need to meet new security requirements that affect compatibility and system configuration...

Windows users facing the October deadline for Windows 10 support are being offered a realistic, battle-tested alternative in Zorin OS — a Dublin-born Linux distribution that promises to keep older PCs secure, fast and usable for years to come, and which the Irish Times frames as a timely option...

Windows 10 reaches its official end of support on October 14, 2025, which means millions of PCs will stop receiving free security updates, feature patches, and technical support — and that looming deadline forces a hard choice: upgrade to Windows 11, buy time with paid protections, migrate to a...

Hotpatching’s promise — apply security fixes without forcing reboots — hinges on one non‑negotiable platform capability: Virtualization‑Based Security (VBS). For organizations preparing fleets for hotpatch delivery, enabling VBS at scale is the single most important operational task, and it’s...

Microsoft’s 12‑month reprieve for Windows 10 users has changed the migration math — and not in Microsoft’s favor; what looked like a steady march to Windows 11 has stalled, leaving most Windows users once again facing an urgent upgrade decision with security, cost, and hardware implications that...

Windows 10’s clock is real — on October 14, 2025 Microsoft will stop shipping security updates and technical support for mainstream Windows 10, and every user still running the decade‑old OS needs a clear plan now to avoid predictable but avoidable risk. Background / Overview Microsoft’s...

Windows 11 ships with a far stronger security baseline than its predecessors, but real-world attackers and configuration gaps still find workarounds—meaning Defender and Windows Security are necessary, not sufficient, for modern threat defense. Background Windows 11’s built-in...

Microsoft’s Windows 11 rules for hardware are simple on paper but brutal in practice: you need a 64‑bit CPU on Microsoft’s approved list, UEFI with Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 — and if your PC falls short the fix can be either trivial (flip a firmware switch) or large (new CPU + motherboard). Many...

Windows 10’s official countdown has turned a long-running conversation into a practical decision many readers face today: do you need a new laptop, or can your existing machine survive the transition with a little effort? The short answer from recent coverage and retail testing is nuanced...

A California resident has filed suit against Microsoft, arguing the company's October 14, 2025 end-of-support for Windows 10 is premature, coercive and effectively forces millions of users to either upgrade to Windows 11, buy new hardware, or pay for limited extended support—an action the...

Windows 11 is a technically impressive and visually refined operating system, but it still carries inherited trade-offs—strict hardware gates, opaque telemetry, and a feature set that sometimes prioritizes new aesthetics over practical user control—that older operating systems solved more...

Ten years after its debut, Windows 10’s story reads less like a single product lifecycle and more like a decade-long experiment in balancing familiarity, compatibility, and incremental innovation — an experiment that, for most users and enterprises, largely succeeded. Background: the rescue that...

Millions of German PCs face a hard deadline: on October 14, 2025, Microsoft will end mainstream support for Windows 10, stopping free security updates and feature patches for Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education and IoT LTSB editions — a shift that leaves a substantial portion of Germany’s installed...

The short answer is: not in the way Windows and most PC vendors mean when they say “Secure Boot.” Intel-based Macs running Boot Camp do not expose a Microsoft‑style UEFI Secure Boot + TPM environment to Windows the same way a Windows OEM PC does. Boot Camp can adjust trust so Windows will boot...
