The End of Windows 10

There have been rumors abound of Microsoft teasing people with their next OS Windows 11 and there might be truth to this as they have now announced the end of Windows 10 support in 2025.

If you check their product lifecycle page at Windows 10 Home and Pro – Microsoft Lifecycle, you will see an “Important” statement that reads:

Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 Semi-Annual Channel until October 14, 2025.

Don’t panic, that means you have 4 years to determine your next course of action:

  • Keep using Windows 10 without any more updates
  • Upgrade to whatever the newer OS will be
  • Switch to Linux
  • Get a MAC
