The source, an excerpt from the podcast “Episode 6 Windows 10 End of Life is Coming” hosted by Rob Cairns, serves as an urgent reminder that Windows 10 end of life support is approaching on October 14th, meaning security updates will cease. The host emphasizes that security is the biggest concern for users, particularly those conducting financial transactions on their computers. To address this issue, the speaker suggests several options, including upgrading to Windows 11, using hacks to install Windows 11 on unsupported machines, or paying for extended Windows 10 support for an additional year. Additionally, the podcast mentions some free avenues for receiving updates during the first year of extended support, or migrating to a Linux distribution like Linux Mint, which can be tested before installation. Ultimately, users must decide which course of action to take, prioritizing their security needs.
