With Windows 10 support ending on October 14, users are left wondering what to do next. This article breaks down the options: upgrading to Windows 11 (if your device meets the requirements), sticking with Windows 10 (but risking security vulnerabilities), or switching to a different operating system like Linux. It’s a practical guide for anyone unsure about their next steps.
Editor’s Note: If you're still using Windows 10, this is a heads-up—your system won't get updates after October, which could leave it exposed to security risks. Whether you upgrade, switch, or stay put, knowing your options helps you make an informed decision without the panic.
