Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

https://endof10.org/

By installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Note: The campaign does not recommend any particular distro. That said, we will be promoting posts by various FOSS communities doing outreach in the context of the End Of 10 campaign.

@libreoffice @Endof10 Absolutely! Looking forward to leading on a campaign around this here at the #UniversityOfYork with the newly renamed FOSS society.

We're a Google university (which I don't love) but it does mean that most people rely almost exclusively on their browser. Hoping to get the university sustainability and comms teams involved so we can show people that, contrary to what Microsoft tells them, they don't need to bin their laptop just yet! 💻

Updates on our progress @yordevs (Haven't sorted the rebranding yet 😔)

The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it’s time to consider Linux and #LibreOffice: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/06/11/the-end-of-windows-10/ @Endof10 #foss #OpenSource

Introducing End Of 10 Challenges

Every few weeks supporters are invited to do a simple task to further the campaign goals 💃 🖖

Drum roll … this week's challenge!

Improve a loved one's digital life by helping them migrate from a closed, restrictive app like Photoshop, Acrobat Reader, Edge/Chrome to something open and free like #GIMP/ #Krita, #Okular/ #DocumentViewer , #Firefox

Tell us about it in a post! Include a photo when you can and don't forget hashtag #EO10Challenges 🚀

The official price for a W11 HOME retail license is 139USD
See here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-home/dg7gmgf0krt0

The current OEM OS license policy is badly skewed in favor of Microsoft.
By design, of course.

We must get to a point where even OEMs charge the true retail amount for a retail Windows license on top of their hardware, so that more people will consider other OS alternatives.

New computer with Windows pre-installed? Want to install #Linux 🐧 instead?

You pay for #Windows, even if you don’t use it. That’s unfair and non-transparent.

#Refund4Freedom from @fsfe & @ItaLinuxSociety defends your right to get refunds for unused pre-installed software! 😎

The campaign starts in #Italy 🇮🇹 but will later be extended.

FSFE & ILS support your right to choose your operating system. They also support #EndOf10 to prevent e-waste!

@Endof10 @RepairCafeInternational I started one in my community. Second event next weekend. It was rather simple to set up, still looking for more volunteers. Found some really nice people through the process :)
Would recommend even if you don't have any repair skills

Wir haben gestern auf unserem Linux-Treff Nord (LTN) beschlossen, in den Monaten Juni und Juli jeden Samstag eine Kleinanzeige in den Nürnberger Nachrichten und der Nürnberger Zeitung zu schalten. Dort weisen wir indirekt auf das Ende vom Fensterprogramm der Version 10 hin.

Natürlich auch mit einem Hinweis versehen, wie das bisherige Notebook weiterleben kann. 😉 Der Auftrag ist raus, der erste Erscheinungstermin ist der 14.06.

Zusammenbringen, was zusammengehört. Wir sammeln von Unternehmen funktionstüchtige Rechner, machen sie fit und verteilen sie an Schulen für Schülerinnen und Schüler, die am eLearning teilnehmen sollen, aber keinen eigenen Rechner haben.
