We’ve covered the loss of security support for Windows 10 on our podcast, on our website, in our magazines for a long time. But Microsoft has extended support for 10 users until autumn next year - giving you more time to prepare.
That doesn’t mean you can sit back and do nothing. In fact, we actively discourage you from doing so.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, we explain what’s currently happening with Windows 10 and share our advice on what to do if you’ve still got a laptop running the operating system.
This episode is read by Rob Lilley-Jones and is based on an article written by Jonathan Parkyn, originally published in the August/September 2026 issue of Which? Tech.
