windows 11 upgrade

Marc Saltzman’s “Tech It Out” holiday push with News Media Group and ASUS deploys a classic broadcast playbook — a nationwide Satellite Media Tour (SMT) of short, local TV segments — to promote Windows 11 upgrades, ASUS Copilot+ laptops, and the new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds as top holiday tech...

Marc Saltzman — the long‑running host of “Tech It Out” and a familiar face on syndicated radio and local TV — has teamed with News Media Group, Inc. and ASUS in a coordinated holiday‑season push that frames this year’s gift guide around three concrete themes: upgrade to Windows 11 for security...

On October 14, 2025 Microsoft stopped issuing regular security and feature updates for Windows 10 — and that deadline has forced many users with otherwise serviceable PCs to choose between buying new hardware, enrolling in a one‑year Extended Security Updates (ESU) bridge, or using community...

Marc Saltzman’s holiday tech roundup for WCPO’s "Tech It Out" lands at an important inflection point: with Windows 10 support ended and AI‑accelerated hardware becoming mainstream, his advice to move to Windows 11 and to consider the latest ASUS handheld gaming systems and AI‑powered laptops is...

Microsoft has formally closed the servicing window for Windows 11, version 23H2 (Home and Pro), and is now moving consumer PCs forward—automatically in many cases—toward the 25H2 baseline to restore monthly security updates and reset the servicing clock. This is not a cosmetic deadline: November...

Many Windows 10 PCs flagged as “incompatible” can be upgraded to Windows 11 by flipping a few firmware switches — most commonly enabling UEFI/GPT, Secure Boot, and a motherboard TPM (or firmware TPM / Intel PTT) — and, when those options aren’t available, using a well‑known installer workaround...

Microsoft has set a firm deadline: support for Windows 10 ended on October 14, 2025 — and that change has immediate security, compatibility and cost implications for millions of PCs worldwide. Background / Overview Windows 10 arrived in July 2015 and became the dominant desktop operating system...

The race to leave Windows 10 behind is a strategic litmus test for IT teams: a mix of security, procurement, user experience and long-term platform planning that no organization can ignore. Recent industry reporting—drawing on Lakeside Software telemetry and practitioner experience—lays out nine...

Windows 10 has officially reached the end of its mainstream servicing—but for many users the practical effect will be quietly incremental rather than cataclysmic, leaving a vast installed base to weigh upgrade options, temporary lifelines, and rising security risk as Microsoft shifts attention...

Microsoft’s consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Windows 10 is rolling out unevenly—and for a meaningful minority of users the in‑product enrollment flow either refuses to appear or returns cryptic errors that push them toward a Windows 11 upgrade instead. Background / Overview Microsoft...

Microsoft's short grace period for Windows 10 users has become an urgent, operational reality: unless you enroll your eligible PC in Microsoft's consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program or upgrade to Windows 11, your machine can enter an unpatched, higher‑risk state within days — and...

If you’re still clinging to Windows 10 and think swapping in a new third‑party antivirus will buy you time, that shortcut is a trap: antivirus updates matter, but they do not replace missing operating‑system patches, and Microsoft’s official guidance makes that plain — Defender will keep getting...

EaseUS’ latest Disk Copy 6.9.0 bundles disk cloning, UEFI/GPT preparation, Windows 11 payload staging and an in-place OS upgrade into a single guided wizard called “Migrate to Win11”, promising to move a running Windows 10 system to a new drive and complete the Windows 11 upgrade on that clone...

Microsoft’s decision to end free, routine support for Windows 10 has moved from a calendar entry into an immediate, practical crisis for many users — and a separate but related privacy wrinkle in recent reporting shows some services offering opt-out language that may leave users still seeing...

EaseUS’ Disk Copy 6.9.0 introduces a one‑step “Migrate to Win11” workflow that promises to clone a system disk and perform a Windows 11 upgrade on the target drive in a single, guided operation — including automated compatibility checks and workarounds for TPM and Secure Boot blockers...

EaseUS’ latest Disk Copy 6.9.0 pushes a bold gamble into the Windows migration market by combining disk cloning and a one‑step Windows 11 migration into a single workflow — the “Migrate to Win11” mode promises to clone your drive, upgrade the OS in place on the target disk, and even bypass...

If your PC shows promise but refuses a Windows 11 upgrade or a new multiplayer title at launch, the problem is often firmware settings — specifically Secure Boot. This UEFI feature is now a gating factor for Microsoft’s Windows 11 baseline and for an increasing number of anti‑cheat systems, so...

Microsoft has quietly shifted how it moves millions of remaining Windows 10 users forward: when a consumer chooses to upgrade through Windows Update, Windows 10 now offers the Windows 11 25H2 “2025 Update” directly — not an interim 23H2 or 24H2 release — while Microsoft continues to press...

Microsoft’s recent, subtle documentation adjustments have quietly hardened the gate for Windows 11 installations: the platform’s hardware-rooted security stack—most notably TPM 2.0, UEFI/Secure Boot, and a properly configured Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) with PCR7 binding—has moved from...
