It’s been nearly a decade since Windows 10 first launched. Back in 2015, you might have been taking selfies with your brand-new iPhone 6, watching your favorite shows on Blu-ray DVDs, or adding in smiley faces with your first emoji keyboard. But after ten years, it’s time for Windows 10 to retire.
On Oct. 14, Microsoft will officially end support for the Windows 10 operating system. That means you’ll no longer receive security and feature updates or technical assistance for your Windows 10 devices. Your computer will still work, but it will be more vulnerable to security risks.
Best Buy is here to help you make the transition. We offer expert guidance, Geek Squad support, seamless data and software transfers, and the best selection of Windows 11-ready PCs.
See how far tech has come
Today’s Windows 11 PCs offer increased performance and enhanced productivity, designed to fit more seamlessly into our lives. Over the past decade, laptops and PCs have been transformed into personal tools that are essential for our everyday lives.
They have enhanced security, better productivity and longer battery life. And for those who want it, Copilot+ PCs can run unique AI features right on the device, enabling features like Windows Studio Effects, Cocreator, and Live Captions. Plus, the hardware is built to be thinner, lighter, and easier to carry.
Upgrade with confidence
We know how important it is to help customers navigate technology changes like this, especially when they involve the tools people rely on every day to work, learn, and connect. That’s why we’re making it easy to transition from Windows 10 to the future-ready world of Windows 11.
We’ve launched a Windows 10 End of Service page on BestBuy.com, your go-to spot for everything you need to know about upgrading. You’ll find step-by-step guides, how-to videos, and expert tips that walk you through trading in your old computer, choosing the right new device, and transferring your files with ease.
In addition, every Best Buy store will have Blue Shirts who can help with the transition and help you discover the right laptop for you. And with demos, you can explore Copilot+ features and see all the possibilities for yourself.
Technology has come a long way since 2015, and your next computer should keep up. You can browse our lineup of Windows 11 products here.
