Microsoft will end Windows 10 support in exactly one year

Nick Parker, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s OEM Division, unveils innovative new Windows 10 devices at Computex 2015.

Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in exactly one year, marking a significant milestone as the operating system reaches its end-of-life (EOL). This means no more security updates, technical support, or bug fixes. Users continuing with Windows 10 after this date risk increased exposure to security vulnerabilities as the system will no longer be patched.

Notably, the latest data from StatCounter suggest that Windows 10 is still in demand with a 62.7% market share, while Windows 11 has only reached 33% adoption three years after its launch. Meanwhile, Windows 7 continues to have a loyal following, with 2.8% of users sticking with the older operating system.
