With widespread talk of Windows 11 adoption, many wonder whether they can keep using Windows 10 after its scheduled end-of-life date of October 14, 2025.
The short answer? You don’t want to.
Microsoft considers Windows 11 an “important update,” and it will be applied automatically if your systems meet the necessary requirements. It’s crucial that machines capable of running Windows 11 are updated promptly to ensure ongoing security and performance enhancements.
Microsoft’s position on having the most secure desktop moving forward is to upgrade to Windows 11.
If you’re unfamiliar with Windows 11, rest assured that it’s very similar to Windows 10, with only a few “look-and-feel” changes—most users will find the transition smooth and easy to adjust to.
As always, if you have any questions or if any users require assistance during this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the CTComp support team at HelpDesk@ctcomp.com.
