Reports are coming in that Windows 8 users are getting a blue screen of death notice that the operating system will reach End Of Life status on January 10th, 2023.  This means that Microsoft will no longer issue any security updates or customer support on and after this date.  This also means that Windows Defender, as well as any 3rd party anti-virus software will no longer provide updates for this operating system.

Most Windows 8 machines can be upgraded to Windows 10, and some can even take advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10.  But that would depend on the make and model of your machine.

You can get more official information directly from Microsoft here.
