Windows 10 Support: If you are still using Windows 10 operating system, then this news is very important for you. Microsoft is going to completely close the official support for Windows 10 in October 2025. That is, after this date, users will not get any security update or technical assistance. Regarding this, the Government of India has also issued necessary advice to the users of the country.
What does the warning of Cert-in say?
The Indian government agency ‘Indian Computer Emergency Response Team’ (CERT-in) has issued an advisory on 21 June. It states that users who have Windows 10 running devices should switch to Windows 11 in time, so that updates related to cyber security are available. If an organization or person cannot upgrade immediately, they can opt for the Microsoft’s “Paid Expended Security Update” service.
What if Windows 10 continued?
If a user remains at Windows 10, then the risk of cyber attacks to his system will increase. After the support is closed, the system will weaken the system due to lack of security updates and hackers can easily target such devices.
What is the biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge before Microsoft is that even today more than 60% of Windows PCs around the world are still running on Windows 10. The upgrade route from Windows 7 to 10 was earlier, but the imperative of TPM 2.0 chip in Windows 11 has excluded millions of old systems from the upgrade. In such a situation, users do not see any option but to buy a new PC.
What’s special in Windows 11?
Windows 11 is not a new system but new AI tools are constantly being added to it. Its interface is more attractive and modern than before. The start menu is now in the middle and many traditional features have been changed as apps. Along with this, its performance is also more smooth and response than ever.
What to do now?
If you are Windows 10 users, start planning now. Either you upgrade the Windows 11 system, or if possible, take a paid security update plan. This step is very important to protect the data and protect the system.
