Cybersecurity firm ESET is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or Linux to avoid a "security fiasco" as the 10-year-old operating system nears the end of support in October 2025.

"It's five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025," explains ESET security expert Thorsten Urbanski.
