Microsoft will stop supporting the operating system later this year. If you’re still running Windows 10, here are your options.
There's one hiccup, though: Even though Windows 11 is a free update, more people still use Windows 10 than Windows 11, according to statcounter.com, a site that tracks operating system usage worldwide. Plenty of people, it seems, either don't want to upgrade to Windows 11 or are using devices that aren't supported. This means millions of people could be using an operating system that’s no longer receiving security updates.
In some cases you might be able to upgrade a component instead of your whole computer to make it compatible with Windows 11. But what if that's not the case? Option 2: Buy a New Computer Microsoft has only one piece of advice to give people whose computer can't run Windows 11: buy a new one. On one hand this isn't unreasonable. The Windows 11 system requirements aren't too onerous.
