Now yes, it is definitive. Microsoft today announced the expiration date for Windows 10. Which, basically, is today…
Window 10 it is already an abandoned operating system for Microsoft. Today he announced that the current version, the 22H2has been the last update. From now on no new features will be added to the system, only security patches.
Jason Leznek, in charge of managing Windows life cycles, has confirmed in a statement that he end of support of Windows 10 will be the October 14, 2025. Thereafter, you will not even receive the aforementioned security patches.
In the press release, Microsoft offers the dates for users and companies to plan the jump to Windows 11.
“We understand that a clear Windows Customer Roadmap Update helps consumers and organizations plan their Windows release activities.“says the statement.
“Windows 10 will reach its end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will continue to be supported with monthly security updates until that date.“.
The end of Windows 10
Windows 10 premiered in 2015so it will have a life cycle of 10 years.
Microsoft is interested in PC users move to Windows 11 as soon as possible, because it is a more secure system, and maintaining two Windows at the same time is expensive, and a waste of resources.
The problem is precisely those security layers extra. Forces the computer to have a TPM 2.0 chip, thus leaving out hundreds of millions of computers sold 6 or 7 years ago, which do not have that chip. If they now run out of Windows 10… what operating system are they going to use? Is Microsoft exercising planned obsolescence?
The aforementioned security layers also slow down gaming performance, which is why video game players are resistant to change. Microsoft has even gone so far as to explain how to disable a couple of security features to increase gaming performance.
Satya Nadella’s company is in a hurry to migrate to Windows 11. But users who haven’t done so yet have no intention of switching.
At the beginning of 2023, 70% of users were still using Windows 10. That’s more than 1 billion computers. It seems very optimistic to think that everyone is going to move to Windows 11 in two years, if in the same time, since its premiere, it is only in 17% of PCs.
Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will no longer receive updates, security patches only. His end is scheduled for October 2025. But most likely, this date will have to be postponed, as has happened with previous systems.
