Windows 10 Support Ends in October 2025

Microsoft ends support for Windows 10 in October 2025, meaning no more security updates unless you upgrade, switch, or pay for one-year ESUs. After that, your PC may be at higher risk of malware, scams, and performance issues. If you use your computer for work, banking, email, or precious files, don’t wait—choose your path now.

Your Three Options

Since 2003, we’ve offered clear advice, honest pricing, and our promise: no fix, no fee. It’s why so many trust Brooks Computer Solutions today.

New Computer

A fresh start, zero hassle.
Upgrade to a brand-new Windows 11 PC that’s fast, secure, and supported for years to come. I handle everything: data transfer, software setup, and a personal home visit so it’s ready to use straight away — no stress, no confusion.

Install Linux

Breathe new life into your old PC.
Keep your current computer and extend its life with a clean, secure Linux system. It runs faster, stays protected, and handles everyday tasks like browsing, emails, and documents easily. I’ll back up your files, set it all up, and show you how to use it at home.

Stay safe on Windows 10 a little longer.
If you’re not ready to upgrade or switch yet, Microsoft now offers paid Extended Security Updates for Windows 10. I’ll help you set this up properly, check your system is secure, and make sure you know your next steps before support finally ends.

Pay for Updates

New Computer

A fresh start, zero hassle.
Upgrading to a new Windows 11 computer is the best choice if your current PC is getting old, slow, or struggling to keep up with modern software. A new machine means faster performance, longer-lasting hardware, and guaranteed Microsoft support until at least 2031. It’s ideal if you rely on your PC for work, home office, online banking, or anything important and want everything to “just work.”
I handle the whole process for you — from helping choose a good value, reliable PC, to moving your files, reinstalling your programs, setting up your printer and Wi-Fi, and showing you exactly how to use it. No stress, no headaches — just a clean, ready-to-go system.

Install Linux

Breathe new life into your old PC.
If your computer still works but feels painfully slow, installing Linux is a smart, budget-friendly way to extend its life without buying new hardware. Linux is lightweight, stable and secure — perfect for everyday tasks like browsing, email, online shopping, and documents.
This option is great if you don’t run specialist Windows-only software and just need a clean, uncluttered computer for simple daily use. I’ll back up your files, install a user-friendly Linux system, get your essentials set up, and spend time with you at home so you feel confident using it.

Pay for Updates

Stay safe on Windows 10 a little longer.
If you’re not quite ready to buy a new computer or switch to Linux, Microsoft now offers a paid Extended Security Update (ESU) plan. This means you can keep using Windows 10 for another year with critical security updates, buying you time to plan your next move without rushing.
This is best for people whose computer still runs well, who need all their Windows apps to work exactly as they do now, but who don’t want to make a bigger decision just yet. I can help you get the ESU set up properly, check that your PC is up to date and secure, and advise you on when it’s best to upgrade or switch in future.

Final Thoughts...

With Windows 10 support ending soon, now is the best time to plan ahead and keep your computer, your files, and your peace of mind protected.
