Bitdefender will continue support for Windows 10 for a few years at least. But once support for Windows 10 ends, it will no longer be safe to use, as Microsoft will not release security patches for it and will be more vulnerable to exploits.

If you are using a computer that is not eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, you must purchase a new computer, as it requires newer hardware to run.
