After 14th October 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates from Windows Update, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows 10. Your PC will still work, but MS recommends moving to Windows 11. Windows 11 offers a modern and efficient experience designed to meet current demands for heightened security.
Windows 10 will be out of support in about ten months, and if you do not plan to update to Windows 11 or pay Microsoft $30 for twelve more years of security updates, you might want to consider several alternatives.
Another Windows-related thing that is going away is DeX for PC. Samsung announced that this quirky mode will reach its end of support with the release of One UI 7. The company now encourages customers to use the “Link to Windows” feature.
