What “End of Life” Means for Windows 10 Users

When Microsoft ends support for an operating system, it means:

  • No security updates – Your PC will be more vulnerable to hackers, viruses, and ransomware.
  • No software fixes – Problems won’t be repaired by Microsoft.
  • Compatibility issues – New apps, programs, and devices may not work properly.
  • Increased risk for businesses – Especially for those needing to meet cybersecurity and data protection requirements.

Why You Shouldn’t Keep Using Windows 10 After 2025

While your computer will still turn on, it won’t be safe. Without security updates, cybercriminals will target known weaknesses in Windows 10.

For home users, this means your personal files, passwords, and online banking could be at risk. For business users, the risks are even greater — you could face serious data breaches and compliance issues.


Windows 11 Minimum Requirements

Before you upgrade, check that your computer meets Microsoft’s requirements for Windows 11:

  • Processor: 1 GHz or faster, 2 or more cores, 64‑bit
  • RAM: 4 GB minimum
  • Storage: 64 GB or more
  • Firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable
  • TPM: Version 2.0
  • Graphics: DirectX 12 compatible
  • Display: 9” or larger, HD (720p) or better

Not sure if your PC is ready? Smart Click can run a full compatibility check for you.


If Your PC Can’t Run Windows 11

If your current computer doesn’t meet the requirements, you have a few options:

  1. Upgrade key components – Sometimes a CPU, RAM, or TPM upgrade will make it compatible.
  2. Buy a new Windows 11‑ready PC – The most reliable long‑term solution.

Why Upgrade Now Instead of Waiting

Upgrading before 2025 gives you:

  • Time to learn Windows 11 before you have to use it daily.
  • Improved performance and security features right away.
  • Peace of mind knowing you’re protected.
  • Avoiding last‑minute rush when millions of people upgrade at once.
