📅 Microsoft Will End Support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025


After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide:

  • Free security updates or bug fixes

  • Technical support for Windows 10 systems

  • Compatibility updates for many new software applications

While your Windows 10 PCs will still function, continuing to use them past the end-of-life date comes with serious security and performance risks.


🛠️ Your Options

Option 1: Continue Using Windows 10 (Not Recommended)


You can keep using Windows 10, but it comes with significant downsides:

  • Increased exposure to malware, ransomware, and viruses

  • Reduced software compatibility

  • No official support from Microsoft

If you must continue using Windows 10 temporarily:

  • Install a trusted antivirus solution (VM Hubs can help with recommendations)

  • Keep all other software up to date

  • Consider Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for limited coverage through 2026


Option 2: Upgrade to Windows 11 (Recommended)


Upgrading ensures your device remains secure and compatible with modern tools.

  • Many newer PCs can run Windows 11 and qualify for a free upgrade

  • Use Microsoft’s PC Health Check Tool to confirm eligibility

  • If needed, VM Hubs offers Windows 11 Pro licenses and upgrade assistance


Option 3: Upgrade Your Hardware


If your current hardware doesn’t support Windows 11, it may be time to consider:

  • Refurbished PCs: Affordable, reliable, and available through VM Hubs

  • New PCs: We help you source new hardware at competitive prices from trusted brands


⚙️ Thinking of Other Operating Systems?


While it’s possible to install Linux or ChromeOS, we don’t recommend this unless you’re technically experienced. These systems may void warranties and have limited support options.


♻️ Have an Older PC? Here’s What You Can Do:


  • Donate it: We’ll help you find tech recycling programs or donation options

  • Keep it as a backup for emergencies

  • Trade it in for credit toward a new system (ask us how!)
