Submission + - What You Need to Know About the Upcoming End of Windows 10 Support (theredmondcloud.com)
Ammalgam writes: Microsoft Windows 10 has been a staple in homes and businesses worldwide since its release in July 2015.
With its intuitive interface, robust security features, and many improvements over its predecessors, it quickly became the go-to operating system for millions. However, as with all good things, the time has come for Windows 10 to start its journey towards the end of its support lifecycle.
Before we discuss the specifics, it’s essential to understand what “end of support” actually means. Microsoft offers two types of support for its operating systems: mainstream support and extended support.
Mainstream Support: This includes all the primary updates, including security updates, new features, and performance improvements. Mainstream support for Windows 10 ended on October 13, 2020.
Extended Support: This phase focuses primarily on security updates and bug fixes without adding new features. Windows 10 will end extended support on October 14, 2025.
After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide updates or security patches for Windows 10. Any vulnerabilities discovered after this date will not be patched, exposing your system to security risks.
