As we have said in a previous publication, Microsoft he warned for the end of support for the 2004 version of Windows 10. This version stopped receiving updates on December 14th.
So updating your system is the only option for continuing to receive critical security updates.
"On December 14, 2021, all Windows 10, of 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004 will reach support end. "After this date, devices running these versions will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates containing protection against the latest threats."
Needless to say, Microsoft also recommends switching to Windows 11, at least for those who meet the system requirements of the new operating system.
Those who do not have it suitable hardware should remain in Windows 10, which will be supported until October 2025.
"The availability of Windows 11 has increased to a wider range of suitable devices. We will continue to train the machine learning model throughout the gradual availability to offer a smooth upgrade experience and provide you with the latest updates as we increase availability over time, ”says the company.
