"The support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. This does not mean that your computer will stop working after this date, but Microsoft will no longer provide updates.

For those who primarily browse the internet and feel that even in the worst-case scenario of a virus infection, it’s manageable, you can continue using it as long as it functions. In fact, some users are still using unsupported Windows 8 today (though this is not recommended).

Some might wonder, 'Why do I need to upgrade to Windows 11 when my Windows 10 PC is working just fine ?' However, as long as you are using Microsoft products, the only way to use them securely is to follow Microsoft's guidelines.

Ultimately, it is your decision, but for those using their PCs for online shopping or work, it is recommended to switch to a Windows 11-compatible PC before the support ends.

Our company sells pre-owned PCs fully compatible with Windows 11. A Windows 11-compatible PC refers to those manufactured in or after 2018. These PCs can be upgraded to Windows 11 even if they were purchased with Windows 10.

These PCs will continue to receive support until the support for Windows 11 ends in the future. On the other hand, PCs manufactured before 2018 are not officially eligible for Windows 11 upgrades, but they can still be upgraded technically. This upgrade is not an issue at all—Microsoft only advises against it to some extent.

Such pre-owned PCs are readily available for purchase. However, these PCs cannot automatically receive annual major OS updates.

Windows 11, introduced in 2021, continues to provide major updates annually. PCs not officially eligible for upgrades require 'workarounds' to execute major updates. (Although 'workarounds' might sound illegal, these actions are neither unlawful nor in violation of terms.)

(A small note: It might even be referred to as a 'proper method' instead of a workaround. The upgrade method is widely shared on platforms like YouTube. As of March 2025, you can download Windows 11 from Microsoft and simply enter 'setup /product server' in the command prompt.)

Since major updates will not be automatically updated in the future, it will be necessary to use such workaround information to execute updates. If no workaround information becomes available, you will need to consider replacing your PC.

Such PCs will not receive regular security update services. As a result, if issues arise, no patches or fixes will be provided. You will need to continue using the PC with certain risks in mind.

For those using PCs for work-related purposes, switching to a fully Windows 11-compatible PC is essential. Please take measures early.
