NVIDIA has officially announced its support timeline for Windows 10, aligning with Microsoft's end-of-life schedule for the operating system. Microsoft will conclude support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. In response, NVIDIA will continue to provide full support for Windows 10 through its Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers until October 2026. Following this period, from November 2026 to October 2029, NVIDIA will transition to offering quarterly security updates for Windows 10 drivers, focusing solely on critical bug fixes.

This phased approach ensures that users of NVIDIA's GeForce GPUs have a clear understanding of the support they can expect as Windows 10 approaches its end-of-life. The extension of full support until October 2026 provides an additional year beyond Microsoft's official end date, allowing users more time to transition to newer operating systems. The subsequent three years of quarterly security updates aim to maintain system security and stability for those who continue to use Windows 10 beyond 2026.
It's important for users to note that while NVIDIA's support extends beyond Microsoft's end-of-life date for Windows 10, the level of support will change over time. After October 2026, the focus will shift from full driver support to essential security updates, meaning that new features and optimizations for games and applications may not be available for Windows 10 users. Therefore, users are encouraged to plan their transition to supported operating systems to ensure continued access to the latest features and performance enhancements.
