ESET will continue to protect your Windows 10 PCs from viruses, ransomware, phishing, and other online threats, even after Microsoft ends support.
However, starting October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide security patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities (Microsoft End of Support Notice).
While ESET can effectively block many threats, it cannot resolve inherent flaws in the Windows operating system itself, so the overall security risk will gradually increase over time.
For the best protection, ESET recommends upgrading to a supported version of Windows after October 14, 2025.
In the ESET link below, if you scroll to the bottom, you’ll find a section titled “What should I do?” that outlines guidance for all possible scenarios.

Your Microsoft Windows 10 operating system reached End of Support by Microsoft on October 14, 2025.
As a result, future ESET product versions may gradually phase out compatibility for Windows 10.
32-bit Windows 10
Your 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows 10 is no longer supported. The final compatible version with your 32-bit operating system is ESET Endpoint Antivirus / ESET Endpoint Security v12.1.
According to ESET’s End of Life policy, version 12.1 will continue to support this operating system until the End of Life date of that product version.

64-bit Windows 10
Your 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 10 will remain supported by current ESET business and home products until further notice, provided Microsoft continues to deliver security updates via the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.
ESET plans to maintain compatibility for 64-bit Windows 10 in upcoming product versions, but recommends planning for migration to Windows 11 or a supported OS to ensure continued protection and feature updates.
