The Windows 10-pocalypse is a short two years away. On Oct. 14, 2025, Microsoft will stop issuing security updates for Windows 10 PCs, at which point most of the world’s PCs—about one billion computers—will be running a dead operating system, like Windows XP. And most of those computers can't upgrade to Windows 11.
Microsoft Is Abandoning Most PCs on the Planet
Half of the readers of my Windows Intelligence newsletter are still using Windows 10 on their primary PC. The one billion estimate comes from two sources: Microsoft, which has said there are more than 1.4 billion Windows PCs, and Statcounter, which shows that the vast majority of PCs on the planet—more than 70%—run Windows 10.
Worse yet, this isn’t like when Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7. Those PCs could upgrade to Windows 10, but this time around, many Windows 10 PCs don't suport Windows 11, at least not officially. If you can't afford to buy a new PC, you'll be left out in the cold after Oct. 14, 2025. From a security perspective, it’ll be as if you were using Windows XP or Windows 7.
Will Microsoft Extend the Deadline?
"That’s the debate of our age,” Paul Thurrott, a journalist who’s spent decades covering Microsoft and owner of Thurrott.com, told me.
Thurrott pointed out that Microsoft extended support for both Windows XP and Windows 7, although support for Windows 7 only covered businesses that paid extra every year. “Honestly, Windows 11 adoption is less than I'd have thought, especially in businesses. That could cause [Microsoft] to continue support for Windows 10," he said.
I asked Microsoft for a comment on its plans, and a spokesperson said the company had “nothing further to share at this time” other than what's on the lifecycle page.

June Triple Witching Volatility and Losses
The second Triple Witching Week (Quadruple Witching if you prefer) of the year brings on some volatile trading with losses frequently exceeding gains. NASDAQ has the weakest record on the first trading day of the week. Triple-Witching Friday is usually better, S&P 500 has been up eleven of the last nineteen years, but down six of the last seven.
Full-week performance is choppy as well, littered with greater than 1% moves in both directions. The week after Triple-Witching Day is horrendous. This week has experienced DJIA losses in 27 of the last 32 years with an average performance of –1.00%. S&P 500 and NASDAQ have fared slightly better during the week after over the same 32-year span, declining 0.68% and 0.20% respectively on average.

Iniciamos todo, consientes de que teníamos fecha de caducidad, y que expiraríamos pronto

Avec le vide
Il arrive que nous ressentions un vide au fond de soi, et nous ressentons le besoin de le combler.
Le vide permet de faire place à de nouvelles expériences. Tout comme les poumons qui après une expiration peuvent recevoir une nouvelle quantité d’air. Lorsque nous craignons le vide, on peut faire n’importe quoi pour se remplir d’ivresse.
Si nous ressentions le vide de façon intense chaque fois…
