Microsoft Windows 10 product keys

Windows 10 - Microsoft’s most popular operating system ever!

As of 2022, over 70% of Windows users are still on a Windows 10 licence, despite Windows 11 releasing a year ago. It is still Microsoft’s most popular operating system to date and the best-selling standalone operating system of all time on all devices. How come Windows 10 got so popular?

Windows 7 was a huge success for Microsoft as well. Unfortunately, Windows 8 wasn’t as big of a hit among users. Many disliked the new tile-based interface of Windows 8, and tons of issues started coming to light after the software’s release. One of the most vocal complaints from the user base was the implementation of the Windows Store and making it a closed platform with many difficult-to-follow regulations, with many important figures from the video game industry voiced their concerns, including Notch (the creator of Minecraft) and Gabe Newell (co-founder of Valve). 

Windows 8’s interface was one of the most hated new features that the operating system received. The system looked more like it was suited for mobile devices than for PCs, with a lot of edge-swiping and hot corners, which wasn’t very intuitive for PC users at the time. There were also no tutorials or instructions on how to find yourself in this new interface, and users had to experiment and look for features on their own. Because of these issues, many users only upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 after the latter’s release.

Is it safe to still use Windows 10?

Yes!Extended Support for Windows 10 is still going and will be available for all users until October 14, 2025. After this date, Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates and fixes, which means it could be vulnerable to online threats without third-party applications to take over security functions.

While Windows 10 won’t receive any new features, since Mainstream Support ended in October 2020, many users feel like Windows 10 already has everything they might need. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows 10 was actively developed after its release date for years, with many new improvements and additional features added at a later date. At one time, Microsoft was considering making Windows 10 the final version of Windows that the company was going to develop, changing it from a one-time purchase model to a subscription model. With the release of Windows 11, however, the plans were scrapped and the end of support date was established in October 2025.

For now, there is no need to worry about Windows 10 becoming unsafe to use. If you buy a Windows 10 product key in the UK or anywhere else in the world, you will receive a perpetual licence with guaranteed security updates until October 2025. You can continue using your Windows 10 indefinitely after that, but no new security updates will come out. After that date, it’s recommended to either upgrade to Windows 11 (if your device can run it), or choose a third-party cybersecurity solution to protect your PC from online threats.

Is Windows 10 still worth buying in 2022?

Even though as of 2022 there are only 3 years of support left for Windows 10 licences, a vast majority of users have not decided to upgrade to Windows 11 - despite Microsoft doing everything they can to promote it. 

One of the main reasons why people are still using Windows 10 to this day is the hardware requirements of Windows 11, which many people see as being overkill. Those who use older devices might not get the option to upgrade to Windows 11 at all, and those that do often end up reverting to Windows 10 after a few days due to performance and stability issues. 

Windows 10 is still a great OS that performs great years after release for all kinds of activities, including school, work, gaming, and more. Windows 11 also removed a lot of features that users were just starting to get used to, including Cortana, Quick Status, customizable widgets, tablet mode, 3D viewer, Paint 3D, OneNote, and more. Even Skype - the old-school online communication app that many Windows users remember fondly - was removed.
