Windows 10 to be retired in 2025, as new OS unveils

Microsoft says it will stop supporting Windows 10 in 2025, as it prepares to unveil a major revamp of its Windows operating system later this month.

When Windows 10 was launched, Microsoft said it was intended to be the final version of the operating system.

But from 14 October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for either the Home or Pro versions.

And Microsoft says its successor will represent one of the “most significant updates” to the OS in the past decade.

Its predecessor, Windows 7, was retired in 2020, although businesses could pay Microsoft to continue receiving updates for Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise.

From October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for Windows 10.

I use Windows 10 for work, as long as you learn how to disable the annoying parts (telemetry and forced updates) it is quite a good OS. Looking forward to test Windows 11 in a VM (no way I will install it on a production machine for at least a few months after the release.

So much for the supposed “last Windows OS”. ^.^;

I guess it wasn’t well made enough to be extensible enough into the future like they planned.

We were joking about that at work as well. But 2025 is super aggressive for companies. It’s a high expectation for companies to update their OS in 4 years.
