Haven’t upgraded to Windows 11 yet? Microsoft is doubling down on its efforts to persuade Windows 10 users to make the leap.

With Windows 10's end-of-support deadline approaching in October 2025, these users face a dilemma: either update to Windows 11 with potential compatibility issues or continue using Windows 10 and risk losing security updates.

To expand on that—you’re amongst the 400 million Windows 10 users with incompatible hardware, you want to upgrade to Windows 11 to maintain security support, but in doing to your may lose support. Meanwhile you can pay $30 to kick the problem down the road by 12-months. Has that become the best option?

Microsoft updates all docs against Windows 10 and won't budge from the pre-decided retirement date for the decade old operating system.

While users still have less than a year before the end of support date for Windows 10 slated this October 2025, Microsoft wants users to upgrade to either the Windows 11 computers or Copilot Plus PCs that offer the 'ultimate' Windows 11 experience.

It's now less than 12 months until Microsoft ends all free support for Windows 10 and the US technology giant is on another big push to get those still using this ageing operating to make the jump to Windows 11.
