Time is running out for Windows 10 system updates. [View all]

Microsoft has announced that it will stop support for Windows 10 on October 24, 2025. Microsoft still has system software updates available for Windows 10. If you have an older computer sitting around at home that runs Windows 10, you have six weeks to install the updates. I think, but this is just a guess, that after that they'll remove the updates from their website. I could be wrong.

I have an older Dell laptop, which has seen increased use in the last few days as I move files around on some tablets. I started downloading and installing the system updates at 2:00 p.m. on Monday. The downloading and installation of updated files ran until 3:14 a.m. on Tuesday morning. The Dell runs much faster now.
