Still on Windows 10? Here’s Where Things Stand
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14, 2025. Microsoft no longer provides feature updates, technical assistance or regular security updates for it. A Windows 10 computer still turns on and runs your programs, but newly discovered security holes aren’t patched unless the computer is enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU).
Microsoft has extended the consumer ESU program, which now provides critical and important security updates through October 12, 2027. ESU is a bridge, not a permanent fix. For the full background, read our article on what Rockford PC owners should do now that Windows 10 support has ended.
Bisconti Computers can check your computer, explain your options and do the upgrade for you at 3065 N Perryville Rd.

What We Check Before Upgrading
Before any upgrade, a technician checks whether your computer meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements, looks at the health of the drive, and confirms your important files are backed up. We also look for programs or devices, such as older printers or scanners, that may need updated drivers or replacements after the upgrade.
If your computer can’t run Windows 11, we explain why in plain language and walk you through ESU, hardware upgrades or replacement, so you can decide without pressure.
How a Windows 11 Upgrade Works at Bisconti
- Walk in or check in online. Bring your computer and charger during business hours. No appointment is needed.
- Compatibility check. A technician checks your hardware and gives you an honest quote and your options.
- You approve the plan. Nothing is changed without your approval.
- Back up, upgrade and test. We back up your files, complete the upgrade and test your computer before pickup. Some upgrades are done the same day; others take longer. Repairs carry a warranty of 30 days to 1 year, depending on the repair, under the Bisconti Service Guarantee.
How Much Does a Windows 11 Upgrade Cost?
Diagnostics start at $59. The cost depends on your computer and what it needs, such as a backup, a drive upgrade or moving files to a new machine, so we don’t post one-size-fits-all prices.
- Honest quote first. Every repair starts with a diagnostic so we can find the real cause. The diagnostic fee is not applied to the cost of the repair. If you decide to replace your computer with one bought through Bisconti instead, we credit the diagnostic fee toward that new computer.
- No surprise costs. You hear the price before any work begins, and nothing is changed until you approve it.
- Warranty included. 30 days to 1 year, depending on the repair.
If It’s Time for a New Computer
Sometimes the honest answer is that an older PC isn’t worth upgrading. Bisconti builds custom computers, and new custom-built computers from Bisconti carry a 2-year warranty. If you replace your computer through us after a diagnostic, we credit the diagnostic fee toward the new one. See our custom PC builder.
