Contents

What does it mean for Microsoft to end support for Windows 10? As it did with Windows 7 in January 2020, Microsoft will pull active support for Windows 10 in 2025. You’ll still be able to use the software, but you won’t get any more security updates. There also won’t be any new features added to the software.

What will happen after Windows 10 end of support?

Once extended support ends (or support ends for a particular version of Windows 10), that version of Windows is effectively dead. Microsoft won’t offer any updates—even for security issues—except in rare circumstances.

Will Windows 10 continue to be supported?

Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 14th, 2025. It will mark just over 10 years since the operating system was first introduced. Microsoft revealed the retirement date for Windows 10 in an updated support life cycle page for the OS.
