Windows 10 is officially reaching its end of life on October 14, 2025. This means that Microsoft will stop providing regular updates-including crucial security patches for most users.

Here are your options to continue receiving security updates beyond the cutoff date.

If compatibility, performance, and long-term security are important to you, Windows 10 Enterprise + ESU is the more future-proof route to go - all without sacrificing the “clean” LTSC experience.
