End of Windows 10 support raises security and e‑waste concerns in NZ

Microsoft is ending its support for the Windows 10 operating system from today.

It means computers still running this system might be at risk, given security updates will stop.

At the same time, there are growing concerns about the surge in electronic waste.

Today on The Front Page, Consumer NZ product test writer Nick Gelling is with us to take us through what happens to your old devices.
