Microsoft(US:MSFT) 猿大侠·2025-10-16 03:44Core Viewpoint - Microsoft will no longer provide security updates and vulnerability fixes for Windows 10 after its end of support, exposing users to potential security risks and data breaches [1][3]. Group 1: User Statistics - Approximately 40.84% of global users are still using Windows 10, while Windows 11 accounts for 49.05% of users [1]. - Based on Microsoft's disclosure of 1.4 billion global Windows users, around 570 million users are still on Windows 10 [3]. Group 2: Upgrade Recommendations - Users with compatible hardware (TPM 2.0 chip + Intel 8th generation / AMD Ryzen 2000 series or higher) are advised to upgrade to Windows 11 for ongoing security updates and technical support [4]. - For devices that do not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11, users can consider purchasing the Extended Security Updates (ESU) plan for continued security updates at a cost of $30 (approximately 215 RMB) for up to 10 devices until October 13, 2026 [4]. Group 3: Third-Party Security Solutions - Installing reliable third-party security software can enhance system protection, with companies like Huorong and Kaspersky ready to provide security for Windows 10 users [5]. - While third-party software can effectively intercept viruses, it cannot fix system vulnerabilities [5]. Group 4: Alternative Solutions - The most fundamental solution is to upgrade to Windows 11 or replace the device entirely, with options available for trade-in through the Microsoft Store [6]. - Regular data backups are essential, regardless of the measures taken to ensure data safety [8].
