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.

What a joke when Microsoft says they care about "Green Planet" but push people to throw their PCs to trash.

[Mr.SharkTooth-zcrm]

Microsoft can take Windows 11 and go to where the Sun don't shine.

[JeffBishopVEEFR]

When Microsoft announced the end of life of Windows 10 I decided to dual boot windows and Linux. This gave me the option of trying Linux while keeping a safety net with the ability to boot into Windows if needed. The more I used Linux, I found that I rarely booted into Windows. After a year of not using Windows I decided to blow windows 10 off of my drive and dedicate the entire machine to Linux. For me, this was the right choice.

[robcarley]

Sweet, didnt even know i could test linux distros in a browser till this video, thanks Brian, gonna have a little play.

[MrMeddyman]

I stayed on Windows 7 until like 2022 when it just became unrealistic to stay any longer without getting a turbo Trojan and I'll be staying on Windows 10 as long as possible as well...

[bashfullJ]

Most people would be fine installing windows 11 if Microsoft would just get rid of the TPM 2.0 requirement, but Microsoft refuses to do so.

[CraigRodmellMusic]

I have three PCs currently running Windows 10. None of them "qualifies" for Windows 11 (not that I actually wanted it). Was I going to throw away and replace three perfectly good computers, just because Almighty Microsoft said so?!?!? Not a snowball's chance in Hell!!!

One of them, which I use for music and video production, will stay on Windows 10. It already spends 99% of its time offline at present; going 100% offline won't be a big issue on that machine. The other two, which I use for more day to day purposes, are going to be Linux machines. I'm already testing out Linux distros for these.

[CoolDudeClem]

They just want more money, theyr'e practically turning Windows into a subscription base service. I can't use Linux, I tried but certain software that I rely on is just not available.

[MikeBob]

Thanks, Brian. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if that first year of updates from Microsoft is charged at $30, then a _2nd_ year will cost $60. (if they offer it after the first year).

I'm using both Windows and Linux (for however long I can stay with 23H2), because they both have their respective advantages, but I'm a fanboy of neither one. Almost every day I read online posts made by people (like me) who are relatively new to Linux, and they're using it, but they're also (again like me) still using Windows at the same time.

It's nice knowing about the various options (tools) for updating/upgrading Windows. There's always the possibility that one or more of em will come in handy. Thanks again. 👍🏼

As long as Microsoft requires recall with keylogging and snapshots of my private information, I will not upgrade to 11. If something like this comes to Windows 10 I will totally quit using Windows and fully change over to Linux. Linux is getting better now. I paid for my copy of Windows and it is MINE! If i don't agree with policies of Microsoft and no choice is available allowing control of the OS, Linux will be the new thing.

I was a windows user until 2 years ago. I heard that windows would not work on my laptop at that time. So i prepared myself, dual booted kubuntu. Then i couldn't get nordvpn to work with kubuntu so I installed zorin in its place but i chose the lite version. Was not happy with the theming. I decided to go with Linux mint 20.3.
About a few months later, I stopped using windows completely because my windows would be slow as a snail while mint was quick.
That was my journey, I switched because i didnt want to deal with not being able to use windows.

[MrLescol]

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..

[marcosousa]

For those who would like to try Linux, Zorin would be the best option. Looks like Windows with much better looking. I' using it for more than 1 year and it's really amazing. Thank you for another great video!

[michaelrussell]

In a world where we don't expect to get anything for nothing, Linux is a miracle. Just installed Mint and everything has gone like a dream. Even the keyboard shortcuts are all there, albeit some with slight variations. All the apps are there too - Libre Office is great. Why would you stop with Microsoft?

[RAZORREVOLUTION]

How are Microsoft offering this extra year of support to Windows 10 users? I keep getting notifications about the end of support date (i.e., October 2025), yet no mention of a way to extend support for another year for home users.

[bashfullJ]

If Microsoft wants people to upgrade their OS they should release Windows 12 instead of putting an AI patch on win 11. We've waited long enough for Windows 12.

[calholli]

I'm still on windows 7 and it works great.. People are just going to keep using it anyway.

[Jean-de-lune]

No mention of this from the Zero emissions crew! Imagine the effect of chucikng away perfectly good PCs or laptops and having to replace them with brand new stuff that runs Windows 11!

[bapibarman]

Microsoft's biggest asset is its Windows 10 users which still has 61% market share almost twice of Windows 11.
If microsoft abandon their largest user base and we see some cyber attack happen on windows 10 which is still used by businesses.
their stock price will go down very quickly and this should teach them their lesson.

[virtual-adam]

I was at the same point with Windows 7 as I will be soon on Windows 10. I always do a System Image every week, if you get a virus or any other issue just restore to the image. The tool for creating a System Image is built into Windows: Control Panel > Backup and Restore > Create a System Image (top left). If you get any major issues (even if you are fully patched with new updates) you will still want to restore the system. Used Win 7 for years with no issues, always had an image to fall back on.
