Windows 10 to be retired in 2025, as new OS unveils

When Windows 10 was launched, Microsoft said it was intended to be the final version of the operating system.

But from 14 October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for either the Home or Pro versions.

From October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for Windows 10.
