AMD’s latest Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 driver release has caused quite a stir among users, but the company has now issued important clarifications. While the update moves Radeon RX 5000 (RDNA 1) and RX 6000 (RDNA 2) graphics cards into "maintenance mode", AMD has confirmed that these GPUs, along with discrete and handheld devices based on the same architectures, will continue to receive day-zero game support and essential driver updates. There was also certain confusion around support for Windows 10, as the release notes only mentioned Windows 11. However, it has since been clarified that Windows 10 remains fully supported despite its end of life.
As first spotted by Windows Latest, the release notes for Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 only mention support for Windows 11 version 21H2, with no reference to Windows 10. This initially led to speculation that AMD had dropped official support for Microsoft’s older operating system. However, the company has confirmed in a statement that this isn’t the case.
