With a new version of Windows, potentially called Windows 11, scheduled to
launch by the end of this month, Microsoft has announced that support for
Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft has listed the EOL (End of Life) for the Windows 10 operating
system for both Home and Pro versions via its website. It means that the
latest updated version of Windows 10 will cease to be supported for updates
and security as the company pushes towards its newer OS (operating systems)
offerings.
When a company stops updating an operating system, referred to as End of Life
(EOL), it usually means that the operating system is essentially dead, and
users will be encouraged to move to a successor.
At the moment, Microsoft has not yet officially stated what the next
generation of the OS would be called, although they have been hinting at it
being Windows 11. Microsoft is hosting a special event on June 24 where there
is likely to be an official announcement regarding the successor of Windows
10.
The event will kick off at 8:30 pm IST on June 24, 2021. Microsoft confirmed
this news via its official Twitter handle. At the Microsoft Build 2021 event,
the company’s CEO Satya Nadella confirmed the next-generation Windows update
would be the most significant one of the past decades.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, during last month’s Build 2021 conference,
said, “Soon we will share one of the most significant updates to Windows of
the past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and
creators. I’ve been self-hosting it over the past several months, and I’m
incredibly excited about the next generation of Windows.”
Windows 11 is expected to get a major UI overhaul. It is reported that
Microsoft has also been working on a new app store for Windows in recent
months, and rumours have suggested Microsoft will open its store up to all
apps and rival payment platforms.
As far as the Windows 10 retirement is concerned, it is likely that the
Windows version might last longer than 2025 as people often take quite a bit
of time to upgrade from one Windows operating system to another. Microsoft
will likely give extra time to people to migrate over to the new operating
system.
