Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, just 30 days from now. The nearly decade-old operating system, first launched in July 2015, will no longer receive security updates, new features, or technical support. Though if you have a PC running on Windows 10, it will keep running, but after 30 days, you will not get regular security patches, and it will become increasingly vulnerable to malware, viruses, and other cyber threats.
When it comes to businesses, the change could mean compliance risks if they continue using unsupported software. Applications on Windows 10 may also stop receiving updates or could experience reduced functionality as developers shift focus to newer platforms.
