From security updates to app support, here’s what really happens if you stay put, and how long you can expect things to keep working before problems appear.⏰ Windows 11: what happens if you don't?
Sticking with Windows 10 is fine for now, but support is ending. Security fixes stop, some apps may drop support (TurboTax already has), and Defender updates end in 2028, probably. Most programs will keep working for years, but slowly, more will move on. Plan ahead, but don’t panic.
