Windows 10 End Of Life

End of Support: What's Happening on October 14, 2025?This is the big deadline—exactly 49 days from now (as of August 26, 2025). On that date, mainstream support ends for all non-LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) editions of Windows 10. Here's what that means:

• No more free updates: Security patches, feature enhancements, bug fixes, and non-security improvements stop.
• No technical assistance: Microsoft won't provide phone, chat, or email support for Windows 10 issues.
• Increased risks: Your PC remains usable, but without patches, it becomes more vulnerable to malware, viruses, and exploits. New security flaws discovered after this date won't be fixed, potentially turning your device into a target for cybercriminals—especially since Windows 10 still powers billions of devices worldwide.
• Software compatibility: Third-party apps (e.g., Microsoft 365) will continue working initially but may lose support over time. For instance, non-subscription Office versions like 2016/2019 end support across all OSes in October 2025, and Microsoft 365 gets security updates on Windows 10 until October 2028.

Why the Push to Upgrade?

Windows 10's end reflects evolving threats—cyberattacks are more sophisticated, and older OSes like Windows 7 (EOS 2020) saw massive vulnerabilities post-support. Microsoft wants users on Windows 11 for better integration with AI (e.g., Copilot) and cloud services. User forums show mixed feelings: Many stick with Windows 10 for stability, but experts warn of a "security fiasco" if too many delay. If you're in business or education, check policies—some offer subsidized upgrades.For the latest, visit Microsoft's Windows 10 end-of-support page. If your setup is specific (e.g., enterprise), consult IT support. The "scoop" is clear: Act soon to avoid risks—October 14 is approaching fast!

Swap Windows OS to AnduinOS

Upgrade from outdated Windows 10 to AnduinOS, a Linux-based OS that looks and feels like Windows 10 with a familiar taskbar, start menu, and rounded corners. It’s lightweight, private (no tracking), and perfect for older Windows PCs, with data backup and setup included.
