In 2025, Microsoft will discontinue support for the current version of Windows 10, which means that it will be the last version of the operating system.
According to a recent blog post by Microsoft, the company has ceased major updates for Windows 10. The current version, 22H2, is the final release of the operating system. However, Microsoft has stated that it will continue to provide monthly security updates for all editions of Windows 10 until its end-of-support date on October 14, 2025. The long-term servicing channel (LTSC) releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date.
In light of this announcement, Microsoft recommends that users transition to Windows 11. Although you can still use Windows 10 after the end-of-support date, your PC will be at a greater risk of security breaches without ongoing security updates. Windows 11 was launched in October 2021 and became available to all eligible devices in May 2022. The new operating system features fresh design elements and several new features and tools to improve productivity.
