The Morning After: It’s the end for Windows 10
Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10, meaning no more software or security updates after its service life. While Windows 10 will continue to function, users will need to consider alternatives. Compatible machines can be upgraded to Windows 11 for free, or this serves as an opportunity to purchase a new computer. An alternative for those wanting to keep Windows 10 is Microsoft's Extended Security Updates program. This program offers an additional year of security patches but requires users to sign up for Microsoft's cloud services. Microsoft has also published guides for both upgrading to Windows 11 and general Windows 10 advice. Separately, the FCC is proposing easier ways for internet providers to impose hidden fees on consumers. Apple is rebranding its TV subscription service to just Apple TV, simplifying its name. Rumors suggest Apple will announce new devices featuring its M5 chip this week, potentially including MacBook Pros and iPad Pros. Lastly, a long-lost Ratchet & Clank mobile game from 2006, titled Clone Home, has been discovered after years of searching.
