I have a new Dell computer with a legitimate Windows 10 and also get the message every day. It seemed to start when I closed my Microsoft account. Microsoft does not like people without accounts running Windows.

I did google and YouTube it...and was not able to find a solution. I am running a pirated copy of Windows on a locally purchased computer.

Wait, they're ending support for Windows 10 already???

Citing the impact of 'the public health situation' on customers, Microsoft is going to continue to issue security updates for some flavors of Windows 10 1709 for six additional months.

Microsoft's planned end of support cut-off date for Windows 10 1709 was going to be on April 14. But, on March 19, the company began notifying customers that it had pushed that date back to October 13 for those running Enterprise, Education and IoT versions of the product.

Support for Windows 10 1709 Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro Workstations Editions already ended on April 9, 2019.

Enterprise and Education variants Windows 10 1803, which became broadly available on April 30, 2018, are slated to exit support on Nov. 10, 2020 at this point.

Good. There are maybe 50 different Lunuxes. Is that even a word? Reseach a little because there are any number of them you can put on your machine depending the specifics of what you want, besides greater security. Happy Linuxing!

I've had excellent luck with eBay software. Notice most of the sellers are from the EU? The court of justice of the EU ruled the sale of used software is legal. That software is legit. Then there's the satisfaction that comes from screwing an American çorporation as an added bonus.

I use Ubuntu for my needs. It has a huge support group and everything has worked for me.

But yes. Ditch the microcrap and move to a virus free OS

No, they will stop support for version 1709 which is the 2020 version of the system., There have been five updates since which they still support.
If you bought a machine in 2020 and never updated the WIN10 version you might be vulnerable. The current version of WIN10 is 22H2 and there are updates every month if you want.
