The Windows 10 end of life (EoL) deadline is upon us, with October 14 being the cut-off point for all PCs still running Microsoft's older operating system. So, if you're looking for an all-new laptop to upgrade to Windows 11, Lenovo has just the sales event — and it's live right now.

Lenovo's Big Upgrade Event sale is offering major discounts on the latest Windows 11 PCs, including some of the best laptops around. That includes the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition that's now $400 off, the Yoga 7i 2-in-1 that's down to $799 and, for gamers, the Lenovo LOQ with an RTX 5050 is now $230 off in one of the cheapest gaming laptop deals I've seen.

Microsoft may be ending support for Windows 10, but you can still sign up for the Windows 10 Extender Security Updates (ESU) program. This will get users an extra year of security updates, but otherwise, it's about time to upgrade to Windows 11.

Now that Lenovo is slashing prices on its latest laptops, I've rounded up the best deals to jump on from the Windows 10 EoL sale. You'll find a mix of deals from Lenovo and other retailers below, all to nail down the best price right now. Let's dive in to get saving!
