Windows 10: Windows 10 end of "Life"

I hope I picked the right community to get some good answers.I got notified by a local computer repair / computer builder about a month ago that Microsoft will be ending support and updates for Windows 10 mid summer 2024. Is there any fact to this or, is this guy blowing hot air to sell me a new system?However, if it is true, is there somewhere a person can look to get educated on the current terminology of processors, hard Drive requirements, RAM requirements, Video Card requirements ?? I don't need a gaming packed machine but, I don't want to get stuck with something that will be slow out of

Windows 10 End of Life

Hi,

Can someone tell me if the following versions of 10 are End of Life and are no longer receiving Security or Critical updates please?

Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.16299

Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.14393

Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.15063

Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.16299

Windows 10 Enterprise - 10.0.17134

I have seen a lot of articles suggesting that the top 4 are. I just want some re-assurance.

Thanks,

 

windows 10 end of life??

Hi Shanika_Arizona,

I'm Stefano an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

Windows 10 will reach end of life on 14 October 2025 only for Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2015 LTSB. As you can see here:

Windows 10 won't reach end of life, but each Windows 10 version has an end of life. You only have to keep Windows 10 updated and it won't reach end of life, as Windows 10 is the last Operating System released by Microsoft as for now.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
