The End is Near | Death of Windows 10 from i3

Important Windows 10 end of support info – October 14^th 2025

One year from now, Microsoft has set the date to end support on Windows 10. This means that Windows 11 will be the only supported operating system by October 14^th 2025. Once a Microsoft operating system (OS) reaches the end of support, customers will no longer receive software updates or security patches. Not upgrading an end of support OS creates a security vulnerability and may affect your company's ability to maintain compliance or eligibility for cybersecurity insurance.
