With the new year having arrived, the prospect of Windows 10 support running out has become more concrete - it happens in October 2025 - and that has prompted ESET to issue a warning not to hang around in mulling your upgrade path from Microsoft's older OS. Don't get caught out by scammers when Windows 10 runs out of road for support (Image Credit: Elisa Ventur - Unsplash) The Slovakian security firm - which makes a popular antivirus app, and other security software besides - penned a blog post on the urgency to move away from Windows 10, as spotted by Neowin. Thorsten Urbanski, Director of Marketing and Communication at ESET DACH (based in Essen, Germany), tells us: Urbanski warns: As for what action you should be considering taking, the blog post further advises: We agree that you probably shouldn't hang around in terms of upgrading away from Windows 10.
It's something we're planning on doing imminently on our main PC, on which we've stuck with the older operating system up until now. (Mainly because of the interface quirks with Windows 11, which were plentiful when the OS first launched - but have mainly been resolved now). The move has to be made, as ESET points out, so you may as well get on with it - though we wouldn't blame you for waiting a bit longer to pick up the 24H2 update, while Microsoft irons out some of the many bugs that have hit this latest version.
If you upgrade now, you'll likely land on 23H2 anyway, as 24H2 is not at the stage where it's being widely of.
