Security update ends for Windows 8.1 January 10,2023
I have a question pertaining to the end of Security updates for Windows 8.1, January 10,2023. If I have McAfee installed and a current subscription to McAfee, will I still receive the security update...

This is official information about it, but having a subscription in this case, unfortunately, will not provide security for an outdated system that needs to be upgraded 🙂
Best regards
- Andrez,
Thank you for your quick response. I was thinking that was the case, I wonder if Microsoft has an upgrade for Windows 8.1 as I don't want to have to get a new computer. I was hoping that I ould download an upgrade. Any information on that would be much appreciated.
Thanks againhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You can try to download the installation assistant Windows10, it is safe but unfortunately there may be an error but you will receive an error code or other explanation , this is the easiest way if you can have on this computer Windows10
- Hello Andrzej1
I have another question. The download link provided, should I download it right away or should I wait until Microsoft no longer provides the support for windows 8.1? I am not tech savvy and I am hesitating to proceed with the download to Windows 10?
I appreciate the information
Thank you again for any input provided
