HP Reports 30% of PC Users Still on Windows 10

Microsoft’s End‑of‑Support (ESU) program for consumer Windows 11 users is set to expire on October 14, 2026, giving customers a full twelve months of security updates before the window closes. This deadline forces many to consider an upgrade path, as the next Windows 11 release will keep existing HP PCs and services fully supported. Crucially, users whose machines lack the necessary TPM and other security features will be nudged toward purchasing new hardware, positioning HP as a key contender in the upcoming refresh cycle.

Windows 11’s adoption curve is already outpacing its predecessor, with the operating system reaching one billion users faster than Windows 10 ever did. How swiftly HP can convert its customer base to the new platform remains a key question as the company races to capitalize on this momentum.
