Windows 10 End Of Life (October 2025)

Support for Windows 10 officially ends on October 14, 2025. This means no more security updates, bug fixes, or customer support from Microsoft. While your system won’t suddenly stop working, it will become increasingly unsafe and outdated.

Why Is Microsoft Ending Windows 10?

Microsoft follows a product lifecycle model. Windows 10 was launched in 2015 and has had over 10 years of support. With Windows 11 offering better performance, modern security, and support for newer hardware, Microsoft is moving forward — and encouraging users to do the same.

Which Devices Are Affected?

Most PCs made before 2018 may not meet Windows 11’s minimum requirements. Specifically, your device might not qualify if it lacks:

• TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module)
• Secure Boot capability
• 8th Gen Intel or 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen processor or newer

You can check your PC’s compatibility using Microsoft’s free PC Health Check tool.

Your Upgrade Options

• Upgrade to Windows 11 – Best if your PC supports it. It’s free for licensed Windows 10 users.
• Buy a new or refurbished PC – A smart option if your current hardware doesn’t meet requirements. You’ll get a faster, more secure experience.
• Switch to Linux – Good for tech-savvy users who want a free alternative for web browsing, email, and basic work.
• Stay on Windows 10 (not recommended) – Risky due to lack of future updates and increased exposure to malware.
