In 365 days,Portugal Windows 10 is no more. Kind of, anyway.
You'll still be able to use Microsoft's previous flagship operating system after Oct. 14, 2025, but beyond that date, you won't be able to get free security or performance updates, according to Microsoft's FAQ page. There will be an option to pay for continued support, but pricing information is not available yet.
If you're still on Windows 10, it may be prudent to find an off-ramp to whatever your next operating system will be before next October. Per Windows Central, the obsolescence of Windows 10 will lead to a gradual decrease in support for peripherals and drivers over time, too, so it's probably best to figure something out now.
As a reminder, Windows 11 is available as a free upgrade for those who own Windows machines with compatible hardware. Another option is to buy a new Windows machine that has 11 pre-installed. You can also just become a Mac person instead, if you want. The world is your oyster, unless you want to keep using Windows 10.
