Still Running Windows 10? Don’t Panic — Here’s What You Need to Know

Glen from Compserve Computer Services - Since 2004 - Raumati, Paraparaumu,

If you’re one of the many home users still running Windows 10, you’ve probably seen the headlines about Microsoft ending support in October 2025. It might sound serious — but before you panic, take a deep breath.

Your computer isn’t going to stop working.

At Compserve, we’ve helped Kapiti residents through every Windows transition since the days of Windows XP. Here’s what the end of Windows 10 support really means, what protection you’ll still have, and how you can stay secure and supported.

🛑 What Does “End of Support” Actually Mean?

I would add trustworthy and family orientated.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
