ESET recommends installing Linux if your unsupported Windows 11 PC can't update from 10 - TechAmok
ESET recommends installing Linux if your unsupported Windows 11 PC can't update from 10 - [briefly] 05:08 AM EST - Jan,03 2025 - post a comment ESET Germany has published a new blog post about the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 and how it is going to affect around 65% or roughly 32 million PCs there. The security firm has expressed concern over this since the vast majority of desktop PC owners are still on the outgoing OS which will leave them vulnerable. As such, the firm recommends moving to Windows 11.
ESET Germany's IT security expert Thorsten Urbanski says (Google-translated to English):
It's five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025. We strongly advise all users not to wait until October, but to switch to Windows 11 immediately or choose an alternative operating system if their device cannot be updated to the latest Windows operating system. Otherwise, users expose themselves to considerable security risks and make themselves vulnerable to dangerous cyber attacks and data loss
The situation is more dangerous than when support for Windows 7 ended in early 2020.
Even before the official date, at the end of 2019, only around 20 percent of users were still using Windows 7. Over 70 percent were already using the new Windows 10. The current situation is extremely dangerous. Cyber criminals know these numbers very well and are just waiting for the day when support ends.
