According to the Central View of Finance, the New Zealand Pioneer News and other media on the 12th, Microsoft Corporation of the United States will stop providing security updates and technical support for Windows 10 systems starting from October 14, which means that a large number of users' computers may be more vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Microsoft said While devices with Windows 10 will continue to run, they will no longer receive regular security updates and some apps may be weakened.

In addition, Microsoft also recommends that users upgrade to Windows 11 system as soon as possible, but in fact, some old computers do not meet the hardware requirements for running the new system. Therefore, these users either choose to change their devices or spend $30 or 1,000 Microsoft bonus points to sign up for Microsoft's extended security update program, which can help reduce the risk of malware attacks and cybersecurity threats.
