Windows 10 reaches end of support on October 14, 2025. Last year, I outlined five possible options for users. This year, I’ve updated the list to six — because so many people asked about Windows 10 LTSC.
In this video, I cover:
• The real risks of doing nothing
• The temporary ESU extension for one year
• Why LTSC is the wrong tool for home PCs (and Microsoft says so too)
• Whether ChromeOS Flex is a fit
• Why Linux could be a permanent alternative
• And why upgrading to Windows 11 might be your safest bet
Note: I will not recommend hacks, piracy, or violating license agreements. Don’t ask — comments like that will be deleted.
