Support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025- Microsoft

Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. Microsoft has listed the EOL (End of Life) for the Windows 10 operating system for both Home and Pro versions via its website.  The company pushes towards its newer OS (operating systems) and new version of Windows, potentially called Windows 11, scheduled to launch by the end of this month. When a company stops updating an operating system, referred to as End of Life (EOL), it usually means that the operating system is essentially dead, and users will be encouraged to move to a successor.

At the moment, Microsoft has not yet officially stated what the next generation of the OS would be called, although they have been hinting at it being Windows 11. Microsoft is hosting a special event on June 24 where there is likely to be an official announcement regarding the successor of Windows 10. At the Microsoft Build 2021 event, the company’s CEO Satya Nadella confirmed the next-generation Windows update would be the most significant one of the past decades. Windows 11 is expected to get a major UI overhaul. It is reported that Microsoft has also been working on a new app store for Windows in recent months, and rumours have suggested Microsoft will open its store up to all apps and rival payment platforms.
