How to prepare for the end of Windows 10

Official support for Windows 10 ends on 14 October 2025, meaning Microsoft will no longer offer fixes, new features or security updates after that date, unless you take action. If you do nothing, you'll be vulnerable to hackers.
On this podcast, we sit down with Which? Tech editor Lisa Barber, and our resident laptops expert Oliver Trebilcock to talk you through what's happening, why it's happening, and the actions we recommend you should take.
Plus, to help you decide what to buy if you need to replace your current PC, we pick out Best Buy laptops and Macbooks that also have our Just Buy This recommendation.
The full podcast, which includes our product review, is only available to logged-in Which? members. If you're not a member, join Which? to instantly listen to the full podcast and gain access to all of our product reviews – with 50% off your first year's membership.
