Dear Anyone.

My PC's not the world's most powerful, indeed there's strong rumours it was designed by Flintstone Enterprises. I've read about TCM chips being needed for Windows 11 - it's an operating system, surely the purpose of an OS is to be small and unobtrusive and just let you run software, not take over the whole machine! - will Windows 10 still be supported when 11 rolls out? I don't REALLY want to have to buy a whole new computer ecosystem just because Microsoft have decided to go partially down the Apple road of making nothing backwardly compatible so you have to buy new!

Yours worriedly

Chris.

In short, Yes!
With Microsoft making the just-announced Windows 11 a free upgrade, the tech juggernaut will pull the plug on Windows 10 support on Oct. 14, 2025. That gives you years to prepare as Microsoft slowly moves its billion-plus Windows users to Windows 11, the company said at its virtual event Thursday. Windows 11 will be available this holiday season, with a preview build out next week.

Hope this helps you out.
