This is the official end-of-life date for Windows 10—meaning no more security updates, bug fixes, or technical support from Microsoft. And the consequences of ignoring it aren't just operational—they're regulatory, financial and reputational. No wonder, PC makers like Acer, HP, Dell, Lenovo and Asus are pushing users to upgrade to Windows 11, which offers a more modern experience and enhanced security features. It also comes with built-in AI capabilities like Copilot, and it's optimised to work with the next generation of AI hardware.
