End of support for Windows 10

Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end next year. After that date, users who wish to continue receiving updates and technical support will have to pay an additional fee.

Details about the end of support

Support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. Microsoft will no longer provide security updates and new features for the operating system after that date. Users who wish to continue receiving support will need to subscribe to an upgrade plan, which costs an estimated $50 per month.

Impact on users

The end of support for Windows 10 will have a significant impact on users who rely on this operating system for their daily activities. Those who choose not to subscribe to the upgrade plan will risk exposing their devices to security vulnerabilities and potential cyberattacks.

What can users do?

To avoid security issues and continue receiving updates, users are advised to start planning to transition to a newer operating system, such as Windows 11. They may also consider migrating to alternative platforms, such as macOS or Linux, which offer free updates.
