There, they can confirm if they are using 23H2, which will require them to upgrade to stay protected.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, for those still operating on Windows 10, the landscape is different. Starting October 14, 2025, this system will stop receiving free updates. <strong>Users will need to choose to upgrade to Windows 11 at no cost, pay for the Extended Security Updates program, or accept the security risks that come with remaining on an obsolete system.<\/strong> It is crucial for those interested in upgrading to check that their devices meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, such as TPM 2.0 and UEFI firmware.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Although you can alleviate the impact, you cannot avoid it<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying on an outdated version significantly increases the risk of being targeted by cybercriminals, who often focus on unpatched systems. <strong>The only way to ensure system security is by updating to the latest versions of Windows<\/strong>. If your device cannot support Windows 11, purchasing a new device may be the most viable solution to keep up with security updates.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Windows 11\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3a83edc2-8bcb-4baa-8fbe-3ddcf458c1a4\/1709716978\/windows-11-win11icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Windows 11<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/windows-11.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/windows-11.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next update of Windows 11, known as version 24H2, is set to take over once its predecessor, version 23H2, stops receiving security updates on November 11, 2025.
