Windows 10 launched on July 29, 2015, as a successor to Microsoft's previous operating system, Windows 8.1. After ten years, the company will end its support (End of Life) for Windows 10 PCs on October 14, 2025, which means no more security patches or software updates via Windows Update. Software may continue to function past this date, but only a payment to Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) system will be able to access Microsoft-certified support until October 2028.
