For Windows 10 PC that supports Windows 11, free upgrade now before October 14, 2025.
For unsupported Windows 10 PC, you can still install Windows 11 or consider ESU (up to Oct 2026), or transition to Linux or ChromeOS Flex if feasible.

- Windows 11 upgrade is free, but only if your PC meets the requirements.
- Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025.

- For unsupported or older hardware, consider transitioning to Linux or ChromeOS Flex.
