Microsoft’s October deadline for Windows 10 support has arrived like a ringing bell for an industry that—by several measures—wasn’t ready: large numbers of consumer and corporate endpoints still run Windows 10, many organisations face compatibility and budget constraints, and the safety net...

Microsoft’s next-generation operating system, widely referred to in leaks and concept renderings as Windows 12, is shaping up to be less an incremental update and more a strategic pivot: an AI-first, modular OS that promises deeper cloud integration, a refreshed user interface, and a renewed...
The countdown to October 14, 2025 is real: when Microsoft stops shipping security updates and technical support for Windows 10, millions of functioning machines will face a binary choice—move to Windows 11, pay for temporary extended security, or run a different operating system entirely—and for...
Microsoft’s official end-of-support date for Windows 10 — October 14, 2025 — is no longer a distant calendar note: it’s a hard deadline that forces millions of users to choose between upgrading to Windows 11, buying time with Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU), or accepting growing...
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...

Microsoft has issued an explicit, high‑urgency notice to Windows 10 users: free mainstream support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025, and the company is pushing a narrow set of pathways — upgrade to Windows 11, enroll in a time‑limited Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, or accept...
Microsoft’s deadline is now fixed: Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025, and with it comes a complex, staggered set of follow‑ups that will shape PC security, upgrade plans, and procurement decisions for consumers and enterprises alike. The headline is simple — the OS will...
A California resident has filed a lawsuit seeking to force Microsoft to keep Windows 10 receiving free security updates, calling the company’s October 14, 2025 end-of-support decision a de facto coercion to buy new hardware and a move to entrench its AI strategy — a case that crystallizes...
