Windows 10 is officially going to sunset in 2025, after a 10-year career as one of the most prominent Windows versions ever made. You don’t have to upgrade before then, but you absolutely should.

Intel has shared more about the voltage-related issues that affected some 13th- and 14th-generation Core processors, as the company tries to put the episode behind it. As reported by Tom's Hardware, Intel says that the problem originated with "elevated operating voltage" stemming from "incorrect voltage requests," specifically an increase to the minimum operating voltage of the chips. These "elevated voltage events can accumulate over time," eventually damaging the processor and causing system hangs or crashes.
