If you’re still on Windows 10, switching to a new antivirus won’t be enough
If you're firmly on the Windows 10 holdout train, I've got some concerning news for you. Almost everyone knows about Microsoft ending support for Windows 10, which would leave millions of machines exposed to security vulnerabilities. Many of you might be thinking about bypassing this problem by switching to a third-party antivirus. However, the security gap with Windows 10 lies not with the built-in Defender antivirus, but with the OS itself. An up-to-date antivirus software will do nothing about the lack of security patches for Windows 10 as time goes on. In fact, Microsoft will continue pushing updates for the Microsoft Defender Antivirus (MSDA) on Windows 10 for a while, but switching to Windows 11 is the only way to fully protect your machine.
