Microsoft is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 before support ends.
The deadline for Windows 10 support is October 14, 2025.
Currently, Windows 10 accounts for 58.7% of desktop usage, while Windows 11 is at 38.1%.
Microsoft is sending emails to promote the upgrade, highlighting Windows 11's benefits.
Most existing devices can upgrade, meeting the minimum requirements: a 1 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, and TPM 2.0.
Extended Security Updates (ESU) will be available for a fee for those who don't upgrade.
The upgrade is free, with Microsoft touting improved security, performance, and features in Windows 11.
