Yes, Windows 10 Pro is still supported by Microsoft, but support is being phased out. Mainstream support for Windows 10 Pro ended in October 2020, while extended support (which includes security updates) is scheduled to end in October 2025. After that date, you won't receive regular security patches or updates. If you rely on ongoing updates for security and compatibility, you might want to consider upgrading to a newer version in the future. Always check Microsoft's official website for the latest support timelines and details.

Upgrading from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 is possible if your device meets the system requirements.

• Your PC should have a compatible processor, TPM 2.0, and sufficient RAM and storage.
• Many users with genuine Windows 10 Pro licenses are eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11 Pro.

Windows 10 Pro isn't typically available for free through official channels.

• Microsoft may offer free upgrades for users with valid licenses of previous versions, but these promotions are time-limited.
• Educational institutions or workplaces sometimes provide access through volume licensing agreements.

When Windows 10 Pro reaches its end of support, Microsoft will stop providing security updates and technical assistance.

• Your device will continue to work, but it may become more vulnerable to security risks over time.
• Some new software and hardware may not be compatible with unsupported versions.

To check if your PC can run Windows 10 Pro, review the system requirements:

• At least a 1 GHz processor
• 2 GB RAM for 64-bit or 1 GB for 32-bit
• 20 GB of available storage
• DirectX 9 graphics with WDDM driver
