Windows 10 may not be dead, but it’s nearing the end of the road.
Microsoft said Thursday that the company has no plans to release additional feature updates for Windows 10. “The current release, 22H2, will be the final release of Windows 10, and all editions will continue to be supported with monthly security update releases to date,” Microsoft’s Jason Leznek said in a blog post discussing the latest Windows client -Roadmap update described.
Microsoft has also updated the Windows 10 Home and Pro life cycle page to reflect changes.
“Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025,” the page reads. “The current version, 22H2, will be the last version of Windows 10 and all editions will continue to be supported with monthly security updates until that date. Existing [business] releases will continue to receive updates after that date based on their specific lifecycles.”
Microsoft has made no changes to the end-of-life date for Windows 10; October 2025 was the target end-of-support date for Windows 10, and it has been for years. What’s new only confirms what many suspected: that this current version of Windows 10, build 22H2, would be the last version of Windows 10. The last feature release wasn’t even a feature release, it was mostly bug fixes.
Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Windows 11 2022 Update (formerly codenamed “Windows 11 2H22”) is a collection of new features that address many things many people don’t use on a regular basis, including accessibility features, like our own Windows 11 2022 Update (22H2 ) concludes the review. However, Windows 10 is an excellent operating system, making it difficult to recommend a switch. We were able to think of three reasons to upgrade to Windows 11, but others made the switch difficult.
However, what we know now is that Windows 11 is the future. Well, we already knew that, but Microsoft is making it official. Sorry Windows 10 fans. Your time is coming to an end.
