From this point forward, Windows 10 will no longer receive free security updates, software patches, or technical support. Your computer may still run, but without these critical updates, your system becomes increasingly vulnerable to security threats and compatibility issues.
Why is Microsoft Ending Support?
Microsoft’s operating systems follow a lifecycle of around 10 years. Windows 10 was released in 2015, so its support window ends in 2025. This isn't an attempt to force users to upgrade, but a planned phase-out of older systems to improve security, performance, and innovation across newer platforms. Evidence of this is seen in Microsoft's ongoing commitment to improving Windows 11 with better security features and future-ready functionality.
