Windows 10 End Of Life

Microsoft has announced that it will officially retire Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. This milestone marks the end of support for the operating system which means Microsoft will no longer release security updates or patches for Windows 10 after this date. As a result continuing to use an unpatched version of Windows 10 could expose your computer to security vulnerabilities and potential risks. While it is technically possible to keep running an unpatched version of Windows 10 it is not recommended due to these concerns. It was a good OS but Microsoft retires all versions of their OSs after 10 years. Windows 11 should be good until October 4, 2031.

To ensure your devices remain secure and up to date you have several options moving forward:

DIY Upgrade to Windows 11: Microsoft offers an upgrade to Windows 11 at no additional cost making it the most straightforward and secure choice.
