You won't have any problems sticking to Windows 10 until October 14, 2025. Microsoft will continue to support Windows 10 through this date, and you can continue to work safely on your PC. But after October 14, 2025, support for Windows 10 will be discontinued and even at risk. This is because Microsoft will no longer release any new security updates for Windows 10 as of this date. If someone discovers a new vulnerability in Windows 10 after this date, Microsoft will not release a Windows 10 update to fix it.

When Windows 11 starts, you can continue to use Windows 10 as normal. It doesn't automatically become unusable, but it will exist in the shadow of Windows 11!
