Will Windows 10 stop working? See if your PC will survive the switch to Windows 11
Microsoft reminded users this month that Windows 10 support officially ends on October 14, 2025, but here’s what’s new: for the first time, regular users will have to pay to keep getting security updates after that.
The company confirmed it will offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) starting in late 2025, a program once reserved for businesses. Pricing hasn’t been finalized for individuals, but Microsoft has made it clear: no more free patches after the deadline.
Help test Fedora on Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) before official release
The integration of Fedora into Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is on the brink of completion, and the Fedora crew is rallying the community for assistance. A testing event is pegged for Monday, February 17, 2025, offering enthusiasts an opportunity to experiment with Fedora under WSL prior to its formal release. If you’re equipped with either Windows 10 or 11 and have some free time, here’s your moment to make a contribution.
This Fedora testing event is essentially a community-organized quest for bugs. It welcomes all -- whether you’re a die-hard Fedora supporter or simply intrigued by the idea of Linux within Windows. Requirements include an x86 or AArch64 setup with virtualization capabilities, a readiness to adhere to guidelines, and the capacity to handle downloading large test images.
