On October 14, 2025, Microsoft officially ended support for its Windows 10 operating system, ceasing the provision of security updates, technical support, and new features for most users. This marks a significant milestone for the widely used OS, compelling users to migrate to Windows 11 to ensure their systems remain secure. For users unable to upgrade due to hardware limitations, Microsoft is offering an Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which will provide security patches for a limited time at an additional cost for some users. The end of support for Windows 10 has been a long-planned event, and its conclusion also coincides with the end of support for other Microsoft products, including Office 2016 and 2019, and Exchange Server 2016 and 2019. Concurrently, Microsoft is expected to release a 'Patch Tuesday' update for Windows 11 on the same day, which will introduce several new features and security improvements. No major, unexpected announcements from prestigious financial news sources that would significantly alter Microsoft's stock price or business direction were reported.
