Answer 1

You should follow Microsoft guidance at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-22h2

On October 14, 2025, Windows 10 will reach end of support*. After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive fixes for known issues, time zone updates, technical support, or monthly security and preview updates containing protection from the latest security threats. 

Today we published a new blog post to help you prepare for Windows 10 end of support and outlined options for moving to Windows 11. The options include:   

• Check if your current Windows 10 PC can upgrade to Windows 11.   
• Purchase a new Windows 11 PC.  
• Purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU) for organizations of all sizes as previously announced in April of this year.  
• For the first time, purchase an ESU option for individuals. 

*Note: Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) and Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) releases are subject to different lifecycle support policies. Check out the Microsoft lifecycle website for more information.
