Windows 10

End of Support is October 14th 2025

Starting October 14, 2025, Windows 10 will no longer receive support updates or free software updates. Move to Windows 11 for enhanced security, better productivity, and access to the latest features.

Moving to Windows 11 is easier than ever. Experience better performancebattery life that lasts, and faster web browsing.

Plus, get even more out of Windows 11 by leveling up to the new Copilot+ PCs—the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever.

Because support for Windows 10 is ending in October 2025, you’ll want to make sure you install Windows 11 or buy a device that uses Windows 11. Use this checklist to ensure you have what you need before the upgrade:

  1. Minimum system requirements: Before upgrading to Windows 11, make sure your device meets the minimum system requirements. These include a compatible 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. Certain features require specific hardware. Check here for a more detailed list of system requirements.
  2. Upgrade by software download: One of the simplest ways to switch from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is by downloading the upgrade through Windows Update. Navigate to Settings Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates. If your device is eligible, you’ll see the option to download and install Windows 11. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
  3. Buy a new device: If your current device doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements, consider purchasing a new device pre-installed with Windows 11. Not sure which device is right for you? Take this quiz to get personalized recommendations for your next PC.
