It’s official: Windows 10 will reach its end of life on October 14, 2025. That might sound like a long way off, but it’s right around the corner in the world of technology. If you’re still running Windows 10, now is the time to think about your next move.

Upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t just about keeping up with the latest trends; it’s about staying secure and productive and ensuring your computer runs smoothly for years. But don’t worry! We’re here to explain what this means, why you should upgrade, and how Bob’s Computer Service can help make the transition easy.

What Happens When Windows 10 Reaches End of Life?

When Microsoft declares an operating system end of life (EOL), it means they will no longer provide:

• Security updates – No more patches to protect against new viruses and threats.
• Bug fixes – Any glitches or performance issues will be left unresolved.
• Technical support – If you run into issues, Microsoft won’t be there to help.

In short, sticking with Windows 10 after October 2025 is a risky move. Without security updates, your computer becomes an easy target for hackers, malware, and cyber threats.

Why Upgrade to Windows 11?

Windows 11 isn’t just a fancy facelift, it’s designed for speed, security, and ease of use. Here are some of the best benefits:

1. Better Security

Windows 11 has stronger protections against viruses, phishing attacks, and ransomware. It requires more modern security features, like TPM 2.0, which helps keep your data safe.

2. Faster Performance

Microsoft has optimized Windows 11 to be faster and more efficient, meaning better laptop battery life and quicker startup times for all PCs.

3. A Fresh, Modern Look

The new Start menu and taskbar are centered (literally), giving your screen a clean and organized feel. Plus, Snap Layouts make multitasking more effortless than ever.

4. Improved Compatibility

Windows 11 is built to work better with modern software and hardware, making it a great choice if you use newer programs or want to keep your system future-proof.

But What If My Computer Can’t Run Windows 11?

Not all Windows 10 PCs meet Windows 11’s system requirements—and that’s okay! If your computer is too old to upgrade, you have a couple of great options:

1. Upgrade to a compatible computer – A newer PC will ensure smooth performance and security.
2. Consider a refurbished computer – This is a budget-friendly and eco-friendly option!

At Bob’s Computer Service, we love refurbished computers because they:
✔ Save You Money – Get excellent performance at a fraction of the price of a new PC.
✔ Are Reliable – Our refurbished computers are tested, cleaned, and upgraded to run like new.
✔ Help the Environment – Buying refurbished reduces e-waste and gives good hardware a second life.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute!

Upgrading to Windows 11 doesn’t have to be stressful. The sooner you plan, the smoother the transition will be.

• Check if your PC is compatible with Windows 11 and help with the upgrade.
