In a little more than one year from now, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10. The operating system has been on sale for nine years. It currently accounts for approximately 65% of desktop market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I have written, the security and hardware requirements for Windows 11 mean I cannot upgrade most older computers, and you will need to purchase a new computer. Some new computers may require additional memory. In all cases, I will contact you after I run a detailed Windows 11 readiness check and schedule a preliminary review of your requirements before next year\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if you see a screen like the one below, please stop what you are doing. Please DO NOT CLICK the Get it<\/strong> button, and call me. You should NOT see this screen \u2014 unless Microsoft changes the code in the background in the upcoming months. If you do see this screen, something is wrong, and I would like to learn what it is and how to correct it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks, and safe computing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a little more than one year from now, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10.
