#windows 10 end of support

Microsoft is going to stop supporting Office applications for Windows 10 users on October 2025. This effect will take place on October 14, 2025 which is the same day that the company will stop supporting the outdated Windows system. However, we strongly recommend upgrading to Windows 11 to avoid performance and reliability issues over time," Microsoft states in their support website. To keep those legacy machines safe from potential threats, the tech giant introduced the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program last year, allowing personal account users to opt into continued patch coverage. Since Windows 10 was supposed to be retired at the end of 2025, the 1-year extension program was originally scheduled to reach its absolute end on October 12, 2026. And contrary to what other have reported, too me somewhere around 1.5 to 2.5 hours to completely install Windows 7 which is dependent on the rig I'm running it on.
