You can still use Windows 10, but Microsoft will not be maintaining and updating it, including no more security updates. So you won’t be computing safely.

Image description: Illustration with text. Text reads: Q. What does it mean that there will be no more ‘patches’ to Windows 10? Normally, Microsoft pushes out patches regularly to keep software running smoothly, fix bugs, and close security gaps. Without those patches, you run the risk of your computer crashing or getting attacked by hackers, spyware, or ransomware. Background illustration shows a sunset over mountains.
