Yes, you can continue to use Windows 10 after the end of support date on October 14, 2025, but your computer will be more vulnerable to security risks and viruses:
Extended Security Updates (ESU)
Microsoft will offer a paid ESU program that allows you to continue receiving critical security updates for at least one year after the end of support.

I will prefer installing Windows 11 on my unsupported hardware than using Linux. That doesn't mean i hate Linux, l have a laptop with Linux Mint XFCE.
If possible upgrade to window 11, it's worth it and free. An easier system to navigate around with new fast software. I get warnings about carbon emissions when I put everything on full power. I don't care because I know our ozone layer disperses them.
Just switch to Linux, it's so much better than Windows
Yeah I'll pay for it.. heck I've got another PC with W7 on still.
Title:
Captain America: No, no I don't think I will.
Linux is an option
No.
Right ! Time to move to Linux ๐
Defo going Linux, half way there. The vast majority of Windows users don't need those special pieces of software that isn't on Linux. Adobe has been found to be used by less than 2% of Windows users. Even me as a Windows user I used Gimp if I needed to edit some graphics or create a logo or a banner. Now there is a new upgrade of Gimp in the pipelines, more user friendly. Teams… a lot is doable in the browser, so even Linux users can have Teams meetings.
And there is a virtual machine that can run Windows within Linux and I am going to explore that option, aside from what I already have: Win11Pro on a Gen2 usb to boot from, like a computer of its own. Once I was happy with the configurations and settings, I created a clone on another such usb, in case the first one got rogue.
Not paying any extra dime to Microsoft. I strongly recommend people to explore Linux, for the sake of their wallets and also online security as less malware is made for Linux still. That might change in the future, but for now any sensible online behaviour should keep the vast majority of Linux users safe, and that without additional bloatware like paid antivirus software is.
We need 0 day free program to.
Windows 11 works fine on older hardware, and the likelihood of MS blocking installation on unsupported hardware, while struggling to get people to install Windows 11… not much.
There's going to be so many cheap PC's on the market come Oct 2025 for projects ๐๐คฃ
Personally, all of my old PC's will be upgraded to a Linux distro to run their functions. While my newer PCs can run Windows 11, I'll probably just keep one laptop with Windows for those couple of things I can't do in Linux. Hopefully MS get their sh!t together and stop with their windows 11 shenanigans.
5 dollars for extended support every year
Microsoft got the command from Bill Gates to end support for windows 10
Defo don't abandon the PC and feel the need to spend money for a new one, better downloading Linux instead..
I'm on a dual-boot PC: I use Win10 Home for more serious stuff (which involves a lot of file handling), and Win11 Pro for gaming. Win11 is OK for gaming, but working with files is a nightmare. So, for me, that MS solution would be fine – until they make Win11 a bit easier to work with files. (my PC meets the Win11 requirements).
honestly I thought it was gonna be much worse but that's relatively fine
I'm still on windows 7 and it works great.. People are just going to keep using it anyway.
Thank you for this video! I recently made the switch to Linux Mint and i do not regret it. However, I noticed that you didn't mention Chrome OS and Fyde OS. It would be interesting to discuss those!
Just make a dual boot machine . Some thing's won't work on Linux but as a daily Web runner it's fine . A lot of code is on the Web . Just copy and paste and it installs. I have my vpn on it brave . Tor ..kodi etc . Been on it for 8 months now and only use Windows for stuff that won't work on Linux.
w12 is coming soon…
upgraded to w11, after one week upgraded to Linum Mint, no dual boot
Strange I am running windows 7 on my home server, and I still get security updates LOL.
I've been using Linux Mint for at least 15 years now, it's the closest thing to windows you'll find, but yes, for gaming and such there are limitations, but you won't find a more secure OS than Linux. Heck, i'm still using windows 7 on my laptop, AND getting updates.
Man i wanna downgrade so badly now because of those stupid things micro doing ah
Wait for it here come the Linux fan boys like a plague of Jehovah's witnesses with their foot blocking the door insisting that you buy into their cult and not even stopping to think that not everybody will think its the best thing since sliced bred like they do or even care. These people must be a big hit at parties "hello darling wanna come see my wonderful Linux PC its a big one"
they are the ultimate bore and don't even realise it.
I'll stay on Win 10.. it works with music and media production. Windows 11 is a smoldering dumpster fire just like Win 8 was.
im gooed with win 10 i dont need updates lol
10 does everything i need why forced to upgrade bloody money grabbing tossers
I've seen videos of good hackers, and the hackers get around patches in a matter of minutes or hours… So having "current" Windows does not seem to matter.
Win11 is ugly, slow and eats up 4GB of ram on idle. There is absolutely no reason to upgrade to Win11 as all your apps still work in. Win10. I will skip Win 11 completely like i skipped Win8 ๐
Windows 10's support will ACTUALLY end when apps stop supporting it. I have tested using Windows 11 22000.1 with the updates PAUSED, and guess what? NO Viruses or any security problems were there.
Get a miniPC and run Linux for internet use. Unplug the internet cable from Lose10. Problem solved.
I bet most people will just ignore the end of life and keep using windows 10 until it either stops working or their computer breaks. People running old systems ain't trying to spend extra money, especially if their computer works. I bet we still have people running XP and Windows 7, or whatever version came on their computer. My mom is in her 70's and can barely use her computer, she won't be installing Linux or even blinking when support ends.
now in the final year of support I've downloaded linux mint.. and am getting ready for that big jump. I've set up dual boot and I dis conect the windows from the internet & use linux for connecting to interent, easy peasey…& no more m$ rubbish..
I plan on using the Winsdows 10 has a platform for Virtual Machines that are upgradable like linux and others.
As always Brian thanks for a honest an informative video.
I'm on Windows 10 IOT LTSC 21H2.
I thougt that I would get security updates free until 2032.
But you said in the video that from 2027 and until 2032 that the sevice of updates should be paid for.
Where can I find information about that.
On my secondary pc I would go the Linux way.
Have a nice weekend.
for security you should not stay on a os after support ends
win 11 is effectively spyware so if thats a problem but the feel of windows is needed, there is:
Linux mint.
