Windows 10 will have its official support ended in October 2025, after ten years of existence. With the end of updates, it is recommended to migrate to Windows 11, the latest version of the operating system, to continue receiving novelties and security patches.

Here are some essential tips to prepare for the migration:

• Check if your computer meets the system requirements for Windows 11.
• Verify the compatibility of your installed software with Windows 11.
• Back up your files to an external hard drive or connect your Microsoft account to the cloud.
• Set aside time for the migration process (around 1-2 hours).
• Choose the installation method that suits you best (via Windows Update, Assistant, or media creation).

Why migrate to Windows 11?

With the end of support for Windows 10, the operating system will no longer receive software updates, technical assistance, or security patches from Microsoft. This makes your computer more vulnerable to malware and data breaches. Future software updates may also not be compatible with Windows 10.

How long can I wait to migrate?

Even after the support for Windows 10 ends, migration to Windows 11 will still be available. However, it is recommended to migrate as soon as possible to ensure your computer remains secure and up-to-date.

Will my computer still work if I don’t update?

Yes, but some features and software may not function properly.

Can I go back to Windows 10?

Yes, but it is not recommended since support will end in October 2025.
