ANN ARBOR, Mich. - eTradeWire -- Have you upgraded your systems to Windows 11 yet?

If not, you're not alone. There's a few reasons why people are putting off this upgrade. Here is the information that is important to know before Microsoft phases out Windows 10 in October 2024.

Microsoft Will Offer Subscription Based Support Beyond the October 2025 Deadline

For those who need more time, Microsoft has announced that they will be offering subscription-based support for Windows 10 users beyond their October 2025 deadline.

Pricing will start off fairly inexpensive at a rate of $61 per device for the first year. Unfortunately, the price will double every year after and support will end altogether after 3 years.

Users will also not have the option to jump into this plan on the second or third year, if they do the pricing will be cumulative.

Older Systems Will Not Be Compatible with Windows 11

Older systems will not be eligible to upgrade to Windows 11. The recommended lifespan for a computer is 5 years, so if your device is that age or older, it's probably time to start looking into a replacement anyway.

If you have several devices running on Windows 10 then it's probably time to start coming up with a plan for upgrading or replacing.

A good way to start this process is to perform a system inventory that includes the age of each device, as well as the specifications like CPU, RAM, model number, etc. This will help you determine which devices are compatible with Windows 11 and how many will need to be replaced in the near future.
