I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Windows 10 end of support notifications.
I’d thought I’d pass on my answer to the community.
If you can ignore the notifications, we should have at least 2 years until it’s a problem.
Windows 10 will function the same long after October. The key is having an updated browser. Chrome and Firefox are the two most common alternatives to MS Edge. It looks like Chrome will still function after October but will not release updates. So it may start to be compromised after a year or so. Firefox will most likely update on Windows 10 for at least 2 years. Last time this happened it was 4 years of updates. They have no definitive timeline.
Bottom line, no need to panic buy a new PC. Or, at least take your time and enjoy shopping for a new one? I personally will wait at least a year because I don’t see any threat or inconvenience currently. This is from my years of experience.
Hope this helps those that were wondering.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or if I can help with any tech issues.
Thanks again,
