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?
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.

> Open Source isnāt just about code. Itās about community, sustainability, and autonomy. The āEnd of 10ā campaign is a chance to show the world how powerful those values can be.
> We invite everyoneāusers, developers, educators, and advocatesāto be part of this movement. Because the end of Windows 10 isnāt the end of the road. Itās a new beginning.
The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!
On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.
This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.
Yours may be one of them!
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?
