Today is the end of life for the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. After today there will no longer be updates sent out unless you buy extended service programs.
Upgrades to Windows 11 are available to compatible computers.
Windows 10 Ends On October 14, 2025
Those who don’t have machines that will run Windows 11 will have to buy a new computer or use open source operating systems like Linux Mint to keep their systems from becoming unusable. I do recommend Linux for those with some experience. Thank you Windows 10 for your service.
For years I used Microsoft Windows just like everyone else. I got tired of it and switched to Linux. Now that I have a new computer loaded with Windows 10 Professional I am really enjoying all the new things it’s bringing to the table. I like all the cool features built-in and the software store.
I have been able to get digitally organized and I have a few social apps running too. My computer is a refurbished Dell and there was a clean install of Windows 10 without a lot of bloat-ware. You can do a great deal with Win 10 without a lot of other software installed. As I mentioned before the software store allows you to download a lot of cool apps many of which cost you nothing. I am even enjoying the hybrid Edge-Chromium web browser.
All-in-all I am really enjoying. I am an old school desktop guy so this new system I have is agreeing with me. Blogging from a desktop is my favorite way to post. You can be geeky and rock it like Bill Gates. My view of Microsoft has indeed softened and I am warming up to it.
