    Although your Windows PC still works, it is at greater risk for constantly evolving viruses and malware. We recommend that you move to Windows 11 Pro.

  • No. Your Windows 10 PC will continue to work, but support has ended. As a result, your PC isn’t receiving free security updates and Microsoft no longer provides technical support for Windows 10 Pro.

  • You have a few options for staying supported:

    1. If your PC meets the minimum requirements for running Windows 11, you can upgrade it. To see if this is an option, open Settings > Privacy and Security > Windows Update. If your device is able, you should see an update option.
