Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10 in 2025, leaving older PCs unable to upgrade to the newer Windows 11 due to stricter system requirements. This means that millions of still-functioning computers could become vulnerable to security risks without software updates. The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) is urging Microsoft to extend Windows 10 support to prevent users from having to choose between security and buying a new PC. Another option for older PCs is to replace Windows 10 with a Linux distribution, although this may not be a preferred route for most users.
