Microsoft Windows 10 will reach its end of life in October 2025, after which it will no longer receive security updates or technical support from Microsoft. This can leave your system vulnerable and create compatibility issues.

To comply with GT computer policy and maintain protection, it is crucial to upgrade your operating system. The upgrade process will take about two hours and will not impact your work data or files. Acting before the end-of-life date will help keep your machine secure and ensure a smooth user experience.
