Eset: upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 to avoid ‘security fiasco’

Cybersecurity company Eset is now urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or another operating system well in advance of Oct. 14, 2025, when support for Windows 10 ends.

into”It’s about five to twelve minutes to avoid a security fiasco in 2025,” Eset security expert Thorsten Urbanski said, according to Bleeping Computer .

Eset estimates there are around 32 million computers still running Windows 10 in Germany alone, roughly 65% of all devices in the country. Windows 11 runs on 16.5 million devices, corresponding to approximately 33%. According to Statcounter, global figures for Windows 10 and 11 use are similar.

Many Windows 10 users have not upgraded because of Windows 11’s higher hardware requirements, which make it inaccessible for older computers.

“The situation is much more dangerous than when support for Windows 7 ended in 2020,” said Urbanski.
