Windows 10 is officially going to sunset in 2025, after a 10-year career as one of the most prominent Windows versions ever made . You don’t have to upgrade before then, but you absolutely should. Once Windows 10 no longer has security support, it’ll be cracked wide open by hackers, and anyone still running it at that time will be extremely vulnerable.
Let’s take a look at when Windows 10 is set to lose support completely, and what you need to do about it. When will Windows 10 lose support? Windows 10 will lose support completely on October 14, 2025. That means no more feature updates, no more bug fixes, no more technical support, and no more security patches.
If hackers have been sitting on a zero-day exploit, that’s when they’ll use it, so after that date, there’s no telling how secure (or insecure) Windows 10 will remain. It stands to reason, though, that it will be full of holes before long. This end-of-support date applies to both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, as well as all versions of Windows 10.
Technically, the October 2025 cutoff date for Windows 10 is only for the latest 22H2 version, because if you’re running anything older than that, then Windows 10 is already unsupported. You are extremely vulnerable and should upgrade to Windows 11 immediately . If you aren’t already running the latest version of Windows 10 and aren’t quite ready to upgrade to Windows 11 just yet, then make sure you update your install to 22H2 at the very least.
Keep it .
