When to Upgrade to Windows 11 and the Future of Windows 10
Windows 10 is not being discontinued, but will reach its "end of life" in 2025. Upgrading to Windows 11 will depend on the age of your computer, how you use it, and your plans to replace it. Check if your hardware meets Windows 11 requirements using Microsoft's PC Health Check app. Even if your hardware is compatible, check for software compatibility issues with older programs. Don't upgrade if your system is unstable or error-prone. Make sure to have a verified backup of your critical data before upgrading.
