Navigating the end of Windows 10

Today on the On Your Side podcast, hosts Gary Harper and Susan Campbell discuss the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 with consumer technology expert Dan Ackerman from Microcenter. Starting October 14, Microsoft will stop providing updates and security patches for Windows 10, potentially making many PCs vulnerable to security threats. Dan explains the implications of this change and offers guidance on transitioning to Windows 11, which includes a free update for most current users. He further elaborates on identifying if a computer is eligible for the upgrade and warns about potential scams related to this transition. The episode also includes information about the upcoming opening of a new Microcenter store in Phoenix.
