Windows 10 End of Life: Microsoft releases final Windows 10 update as support officially comes to an end

Windows 10 running on a laptop with desktop elements displayed on its screen.

As of October 14, your Windows 10 PC has reached end of life (EOL.) Microsoft is ending mainstream support for Windows 10 after a decade on the market, and is encouraging all users to switch to Windows 11. If you are still running Windows 10 after October 14, there are steps you must take to ensure your PC remains secure.

ALL Windows 10 users across Home, Pro, and Enterprise editions are impacted by this end-of-support date. Everyone using these editions of Windows 10 will need to take action manually to ensure their devices remain secure beyond October 14. Doing nothing will result in your PC being unsecured on the internet.
