Just means there will be no more security updates. There is a paid scheme to extend the life of the updates, but probably not worth it.

If you can't update to Windows 11 I would keep on using it. It's unlikely you would have problems and there are people out there with far older versions

@RunrigForever 

 

14th October 2025 is when Consumer versions of Windows 10 will become EOL, you can still use it but if you dont pay MS you will get no more updates, fixes etc..  And MS will no longer support Office etc on it either.. 

 

Windows 10 Home and Pro end-of-life is October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes for these versions. However, Microsoft offers the Extended Security Update (ESU) program, allowing users to purchase additional security updates for a fee. 
 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
    • End-of-life date: October 14, 2025. 
       
    • What's ending: Free updates, technical support, and security fixes. 
       
    • Impact: After this date, Windows 10 will be more vulnerable to viruses and malware. 
       
  • Recommendation: Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 11 or purchasing a new PC with Windows 11. 
     
  • ESU option: Users can purchase ESU for a fee to extend the security updates for an additional year.

Thank you @Enlli & @madasaf1sh 

I'd like to upgrade to Windows 11. I don't want to buy a new pc with Windows 11 installed.

Are you able to say how I go about upgrading please ?

I think the first thing to do is check your Aspire is compatible 

There is a comprehensive list here
