Fin del soporte de Windows 10 en octubre de 2025: opciones para PCs incompatibles

"...Doing nothing is not a safe option...."

"...Don't procrastinate, though -- if you're responsible for one or more Windows 10 PCs that fail Microsoft's Windows 11 compatibility tests, you have five options...."

"...Even if you and your business aren't affected by this deadline, it's likely that you have friends and family members who own older PCs that are still perfectly functional but can't be upgraded to Windows 11...."

"...They've probably been ignoring warning messages for a few months now, but those messages are going to get more insistent as the deadline approaches...."

"...You can help them out by sending them a link to this article...."

"...Frankly, if you have a PC that is less than 10 years old, this is the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable option...."

"...That pesky compatibility checker might insist that you can't upgrade your Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, but there are indeed documented ways to bypass those restrictions...."

"...You just have to jump through a few technical hoops...."

"...That option is worth considering...."

"...You might not even notice what operating system is running that browser...."

"...You could do nothing at all -- just continue running your unsupported operating system and hope for the best...."

"...That's a bad idea that exposes you to the very real possibility that you'll fall prey to a security exploit...."

"...Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to do just that...."

"...Some percentage of them will end up regretting their decision...."

"...I've heard from some folks who believe that being extra careful and using third-party antivirus software will protect them from harm...."

"...I wouldn't bet my business on that strategy...."

"...I wouldn't recommend that for a PC that you use for business, but if you have a device you use for casual tasks at home, you might be willing to take the risk...."

"...That schedule is defined by Microsoft's Modern Lifecycle Policy, which is documented on the Microsoft Lifecycle page: "Windows 10 will reach end of support on Oct. 14, 2025...."

"...The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date."..."

"...In a separate support article, Microsoft reiterates that as of Oct. 14, 2025, it will no longer provide technical support or security and reliability fixes for PCs running Windows 10...."

"...That part in the middle sounds encouraging, doesn't it?..."

"...Unfortunately, that's not a supported option for customers running Windows 10 on hardware that doesn't meet the stringent hardware compatibility requirements of Windows 11...."

"...If you try to upgrade one of those PCs to Windows 11, you'll encounter an error message...."

"...And then you'll have to choose one of the five options above...."
