Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 on October 14, 2025

Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, just over 10 years since the operating system first launched in 2015. According to Thurrott, Microsoft has revealed the end date of Windows 10. In an article announcing the Windows 10 support lifecycle, this is also the first time Microsoft has talked about ending support for Windows 10.

According to Thurrott, Microsoft will stop supporting versions of Windows 10, not the entire Windows operating system. That of course means that Microsoft will launch a brand new version of Windows to replace it, which will most likely be Windows 11.

Microsoft has given a lot of hints about launching Windows 11 in the near future. On June 24, the software giant will hold a “Next Generation of Windows” event. In this event, Windows 11 is expected to be launched with a completely new interface.

Windows 10 is a non-traditional version of Microsoft, as it no longer has the cycle of releasing a new operating system every few years. Instead, Microsoft has continuously updated Windows 10, adding new services and features every two years. Microsoft has hinted that Windows 10 will be the “final version of Windows”.

It has been 6 years since its release date, Windows 10 has not yet reached the stage of extended support, the stage where Microsoft does not update new features anymore, but only updates to fix bugs and patch security holes. But it seems that Microsoft wants something new to attract users and software developers.
