Still Running Windows 10? Don’t Panic — Here’s What You Need to Know
If you’re one of the many home users still running Windows 10, you’ve probably seen the headlines about Microsoft ending support in October 2025. It might sound serious — but before you panic, take a deep breath.
Your computer isn’t going to stop working.
At Compserve, we’ve helped Kapiti residents through every Windows transition since the days of Windows XP. Here’s what the end of Windows 10 support really means, what protection you’ll still have, and how you can stay secure and supported.
🛑 What Does “End of Support” Actually Mean?
Microsoft will officially end mainstream security updates for Windows 10 in October 2025.
That means they’ll stop releasing new security patches and feature updates — but your existing system will keep working exactly as it does today.
You’ll still be able to:
✅ Start up and use your computer normally
✅ Browse the internet, watch videos, and check emails
✅ Print, scan, and use your existing apps and files
So, nothing will suddenly break or stop working when the deadline arrives.
🔒 Windows 10 Will Still Offer Basic Protection
Even after October 2025, Windows 10 continues to include powerful built-in protections:

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
