Time to upgrade to a new PC or laptop? Murcia company's advice ahead of Windows 10 end of support

As Microsoft phases out support for Windows 10, millions of users worldwide are being urged to prepare for change. From October 14, 2025, the operating system will no longer receive security updates or technical assistance, leaving machines vulnerable to cyber threats.

In response, Microsoft is encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 11, but since the release of Windows 12 looms later this year, Murcia-based tech repair shop Fixtech says it may be a good time to consider new hardware entirely.

Windows 10, which has served as a reliable platform for both home and business users since its launch in 2015, is approaching its final chapter. While devices running Windows 10 will still function, Microsoft warns that continuing to use them could increase exposure to malware and security flaws as vulnerabilities go unpatched. This has prompted a growing number of users to assess whether their current PCs or laptops are ready for the transition.

One key issue is compatibility. Windows 11 introduced higher system requirements, and the anticipated launch of Windows 12 is expected to raise the bar even further. As a result, many existing computers may not be capable of running the new operating systems, which could leave users with limited options unless they upgrade their hardware.

Local Murcia tech company Fixtech is offering practical solutions to help users navigate this change. For those in need of a new PC or laptop, Fixtech provides a full end-to-end service.

They will:

Assist customers in selecting a machine that suits their needs
Install Windows in the preferred language
Complete setup at the customer’s home, including configuring the Wi-Fi, printers and other hardware devices
And even transfer all the data from the old device over to the new one so you don’t lose anything.

This approach ensures a smooth transition, allowing users to get started with minimal fuss.

Importantly, Fixtech advises customers to check whether their current computer is eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11 before replacing it. Many Windows 10 machines may still meet the criteria and could be upgraded instead of replaced.

Whether users opt to upgrade their existing system or invest in a new one, the end of Windows 10 marks a significant moment for PC owners.
