About

This project exists because Windows 10 is reaching the end of its supported life. Your computer may still work as normal, but quietly in the background it stops being properly protected.

What actually changes

Nothing dramatic happens overnight. Your computer still turns on, opens programs, and connects to the internet as usual.

What changes is underneath.

Your computer will still

  • turn on
  • open your programs
  • connect to the internet

But in the background

  • new security problems stop being fixed
  • attackers know this and pay attention
  • older systems become easier targets as the months pass

Where the real risk lives

The risk is not really in the machine itself. It is in what you do on it.

Online banking and payments

If you use the computer for money or identity-related tasks, you are trusting sensitive information to a system that may no longer be safe.

  • checking accounts
  • paying bills
  • filing taxes
  • managing pension accounts

Email and attachments

Opening invoices, downloaded documents, or links in messages is still one of the most common ways people get caught out.

  • open invoices
  • download documents
  • click links in messages

Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp Web

Shared links, unexpected messages, or posts from hacked accounts are common routes for scams.

  • click shared links
  • open unexpected messages
  • follow suspicious posts

Shopping and saved passwords

Online shopping and saved browser logins become riskier if the system around them is compromised.

  • use online shops
  • save passwords in the browser
  • stay logged into accounts

Downloads and files

Every file you open assumes your computer is still secure enough to handle it safely.

  • program installers
  • PDF files
  • ZIP archives
  • random downloads

The honest picture

An unsupported computer is not broken. It is just becoming less safe over time.

Most people will not notice anything at all until one day something goes wrong.

In short

If your computer never touches the internet, there is very little to worry about.

If you use it for banking, messages, shopping, or anything tied to money or identity, the risk grows quietly over time.

The Risks page gives a fuller breakdown of what changes after support ends.
