Microsoft Appears to Be Dropping Windows 10 Support by 2025

Microsoft has announced that it will end support for Windows 10 in 2025.

 The company’s updated Windows lifecycle fact sheet states that the company will drop support for Windows 10 Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, and Pro Education on October 14, 2025. This means that the US-based tech giant will not release any more updates and security fixes after that date.

As far as Windows 10 retirement is concerned, it looks like this Windows version might last longer than 2025 as people took a lot of time to upgrade from Windows 7. Microsoft will likely give extra time to people to migrate over to the new operating system.

When Microsoft launched Windows 10, it said that this would be the last version of Windows. But, the company’s recent teaser confirmed that it will launch Windows 11 by the end of this month. It has listed a new event on its website, which will take place on June 24. At the event, the company will highlight everything that is coming ‘next for Windows.’

This heavily points to a new version of Windows. The company has an event on June 24 about the future of the operating system. While Microsoft previously said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows, all clues, including a bunch of Microsoft's own teases, point to Windows 11.

If that comes to pass, Microsoft will then have to get the people running 1.3 billion active devices on Windows 10 to update. This would give Windows PC owners 3 to 4 years to migrate to the new version
