Windows 10 support ends soon

[Brunlea]

Windows 10 updates and support end on 14th October, 2025. You can upgrade to Windows 11 for free if your computer meets the requirements.

As a reminder, Windows 10 will reach the end of support on October 14, 2025. At this point technical assistance and software updates will no longer be provided. If you have devices running Windows 10, we recommend upgrading them to a more current, in-service, and supported Windows release. If devices do not meet the technical requirements to run a more current release of Windows, we recommend that you replace the device with one that supports Windows 11.

Microsoft offers an Extended Security Update (ESU) program for Windows 10. This paid program provides individuals and organizations the option to extend the use of Windows 10 devices past the end of support date in a more secure manner. For more information about the ESU program, see Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10.

What does this mean for me?

After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates from Windows Update, technical assistance or security fixes for Windows 10.

Will my Windows 10 PC stop working?
