Windows 10 will reach “end of support” on October 14, 2025

Microsoft will stop providing free security updates, non-security updates, and technical support for Windows 10.

Here is what that mean and how it will affect you.

• No security and updates:

  Microsoft will not release patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities. Your system will become more exposed to malware and targeted attacks over time.



• Software and hardware compatibility:

  New apps, drivers, or peripherals will be designed for newer Windows versions and could lose compatibility with Windows 10 over time.



• Compliance and risk:

  For businesses, running an unsupported OS will risk violating compliance requirements like security updates in order to open websites like your bank.
