Description

As you might be aware, Microsoft recently pushed Windows 10 into an end-of-support phase, over 10 years after its initial release -- well, sort of. The company is continuing to put out security updates if you enroll for them, so you'll be able to use it for a while yet. Once that extended support is over in October 2026, however, you'll be taking a risk whenever you go online, which might as well signal the death of the OS unless you're extremely confident in third-party security tools and your Wi-Fi router's firewall.
