Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 Support Ends on October 14, 2025. After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive:
🔒 Security updates or patches, increasing the risk of viruses, ransomware, and other cyber threats.
⚙️ Technical support — any issues may remain unresolved.
🔄 Feature and software updates, with no further improvements or bug fixes.
📦 Third-party app support, as many software providers may also phase out Windows 10 compatibility.
Although devices will continue to function, they will quickly become less secure, less efficient, and potentially incompatible with new software.

Moving to Windows 11 helps organisations stay protected and productive. The latest version includes performance enhancements and modern, built-in security features such as Smart App Control and phishing protection — designed to keep data safer and systems running smoothly.
