Windows 10 Retirement

General News Article

Microsoft will officially discontinue support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. After this date, users will no longer receive free software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Your PC will continue to operate, but you will not receive any security updates, feature enhancements, or technical support from Microsoft.
  • To keep using Microsoft 365 applications on your device, you must upgrade to Windows 11.
  • Microsoft advises upgrading to Windows 11 for ongoing security and support.
  • This change impacts Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education versions.
  • If you continue using Windows 10 and subscribe to Microsoft 365, your Microsoft 365 applications will stop functioning on October 14, 2025.
  • If you require additional time before transitioning to a Copilot+ PC or another new Windows 11 device, you can enroll in a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for $30 USD. This will help protect your Windows 10 device, with enrollment opening in 2025.
  • The current version, 22H2, will be the last version of Windows 10, with all editions receiving monthly security updates until that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond this date according to their specific lifecycles.
