Microsoft has set a hard deadline: Windows 10 will stop receiving free security updates on October 14, 2025, and every day that passes between now and that date increases the urgency for millions of households and businesses to act — whether by upgrading, enrolling in extended protection, or...

Microsoft has set a hard cutoff for Windows 10: free mainstream support and monthly security updates stop on October 14, 2025, but a one‑year safety net — the consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program — gives eligible Windows 10 users a bridge until October 13, 2026.

Rich’s roundup from CEDIA 2025 landed like a fast-moving tour of where the modern smart home is headed: pro-grade audio and outdoor AV, smart TVs with generative AI baked in, practical advice for Windows 10 users facing the October 14, 2025 end-of-support deadline, and a demonstration of how the...
Microsoft’s support clock for Windows 10 has a hard stop: after October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer issue routine security or feature updates for Windows 10, and millions of PCs will face a growing security and compatibility risk unless owners act — by upgrading to Windows 11, enrolling...

Windows 10 reaches its official end of support on October 14, 2025, which means millions of PCs will stop receiving free security updates, feature patches, and technical support — and that looming deadline forces a hard choice: upgrade to Windows 11, buy time with paid protections, migrate to a...

A California resident has filed suit against Microsoft, arguing the company's October 14, 2025 end-of-support for Windows 10 is premature, coercive and effectively forces millions of users to either upgrade to Windows 11, buy new hardware, or pay for limited extended support—an action the...
A California resident has filed suit seeking to stop Microsoft from cutting off free security updates for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, arguing the company’s end‑of‑support decision amounts to forced obsolescence that funnels users toward Windows 11 and Microsoft’s AI‑focused hardware...
A single‑plaintiff lawsuit filed in California has turned a routine vendor lifecycle announcement into a potential legal test of forced obsolescence, platform power and the economics of the AI era — and it puts a hard deadline, October 14, 2025, at the center of the debate. The complaint, filed...
