The Future of Windows 10
The last scheduled update for Windows 10 is set for October 14, 2025. Post this date, the operating system will only receive security updates through the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. It’s noteworthy that Microsoft is now allowing regular users to participate in this program, which historically was restricted to commercial clients.
This shift is not merely altruistic; given that Windows 10 maintains a significant market presence, with hundreds of millions of PCs reliant on it, the additional year of free security updates will grant users invaluable time to strategize an upgrade path to Windows 11 or beyond.
