Google’s homepage ad push asking Windows 10 users to “switch to Chromebook Plus” is the kind of marketing move that wakes the industry up: it places ChromeOS squarely in the migration conversation as millions of PCs face a hard fork on October 14, 2025, when Windows 10 reaches end of support...
Capcom has quietly shifted the burden of compatibility onto players: as Microsoft’s Windows 10 reaches its formal end of support on October 14, 2025, Capcom says it “will no longer guarantee” that Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds will run on Windows 10 systems...

This week’s tech dispatch wedges three converging trends into a single, unmistakable message: platform lifecycles, AI priorities, and micro‑monetisation are reshaping everyday computing choices. The Hindustan Times Wired Wisdom newsletter framed the week around three anchors — the end of the...
If your Windows 10 PC is still humming along, you don’t have to smash the hard drive on October 14, 2025—but you do need a plan. Microsoft will stop shipping regular security, feature, and customer-support updates for mainstream Windows 10 editions on that date, and while machines will continue...
Capcom’s warning that it “will no longer guarantee” Monster Hunter titles on Windows 10 after October 14, 2025 marks the clearest sign yet that Microsoft’s Windows 10 end of life is about to reshape PC gaming support and force hard choices for players who refuse to move to Windows 11. The...
October’s real scare isn’t haunted houses or costumed ghouls — it’s the quiet moment when millions of previously serviceable PCs become unsupported, exposed to new threats and practical obsolescence unless owners act quickly and deliberately.
