The Windows 10 Farewell Tour: AI PCs, Tariffs, and Subscription Support
About this episode
On this episode of Tech Brewed, host Greg Doig dives into the drama surrounding Windows 10's upcoming end-of-life deadline. With Microsoft set to end support in October 2025, nearly half of all PC users are still hanging on to Windows 10, prompting businesses to pay extra for extended security updates rather than upgrading. Greg breaks down the sluggish PC upgrade cycle, the rising popularity of AI-powered computers, and how major players like Dell and HP are navigating this tech transition. From skyrocketing costs for extended Windows 10 support to the surprising demand for AI PCs, this episode unpacks why change is so hard—and why the next big shift in computing might be powered by artificial intelligence. Grab your favorite drink and let’s make sense of the moves, the holdouts, and what it all means for the future of tech.
