Microsoft shares several reasons to leave Windows 10 for Windows 11

This year, things are finally picking up for Microsoft as Windows 10 users are starting to switch over to Windows 11. But the pace isn’t fast enough for Microsoft’s liking, apparently, and the company really wants people to upgrade to Windows 11 sooner than later.

In addition to sending out reminder emails about Windows 10’s impending doom and nudging users to recycle their old Windows 10 PCs while buying newer Windows 11 systems, Microsoft has recently published a new support page in an attempt to persuade users to switch over ASAP, reports Windows Latest.

Published earlier this month, the article in question is titled “7 tips to get the most out of Windows 11” and includes seven reasons why you should switch from Windows 10 to Windows 11:

New Start menu
Snap layouts
Multiple desktops
Widget board
Focus sessions
Windows Hello
Improved dark mode

A lot of these productivity-boosting features in Windows 11, and we’re honestly surprised they stopped at seven. There are actually plenty of other lesser-known Windows features only available in Windows 11, which could further tempt Windows 10 users to hop over.

But the biggest reason to make the upgrade? Well, Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, after which the operating system will grow more vulnerable to security flaws and miss out on whatever features and improvements come to Windows 11.

If you’re still on Windows 10, you can upgrade to Windows 11 free of charge if you have a compatible system. Otherwise, you’ll have to seek out one of these other solutions to save your Windows 10 PC.
