VERSION COMPARISON
Windows 10 vs Windows 11
Microsoft support for Windows 10 ended in October 2025. Is it the right time to move to Windows 11? We compare security, hardware requirements and features honestly.
Short answer
If your hardware qualifies (TPM 2.0), the right move is Windows 11 — Windows 10 no longer receives security updates. We recommend Windows 10 only for older devices without TPM 2.0, and only knowingly.

Which One Is for Whom?
Fresh installs
For a clean install, the only current and supported choice is Windows 11. If you want years of updates from today's purchase, this is it.
Older hardware owners
If your device lacks TPM 2.0, Windows 10 keeps working — just use it knowing it no longer receives updates.
Gamers
DirectStorage and Auto HDR only exist on Windows 11. For next-gen gaming features, upgrade to 11.
Businesses
A supported OS is the baseline of security compliance. We recommend moving company devices to Windows 11 Pro.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Windows 10 still be used?
Yes — it keeps working and activating. But Microsoft support ended in October 2025, so it receives no security updates; day-to-day online use gets riskier over time.
Can I upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for free?
On qualifying hardware, Microsoft offers the upgrade from an activated Windows 10. For a clean install, you'll need a Windows 11 licence.
What is TPM 2.0 and do I have it?
It's the security chip Windows 11 requires; most computers made after 2016 have it. Check your PC's settings (Security processor) or your motherboard manual.
Which is better for gaming?
Raw frame rates are largely the same; but next-gen features like DirectStorage and Auto HDR are Windows 11 only.
How fast is the licence key delivered?
Usually within 1-90 minutes after payment — 100% genuine and invoiced, sent to your e-mail.
