End of Support for Windows 10

Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14^th, 2025.
 

Starting October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10, meaning no more security updates or technical assistance. To keep your school’s devices secure and running smoothly, now is an ideal time to start planning and preparing.  Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 11 or purchasing a new PC with Windows 11 pre-installed.  Windows 11 offers enhanced security, improved performance, and powerful tools designed for modern learning environments. Don’t risk outdated technology—ensure your students and educators have the best digital experience.

What happens after the end of support date?

Your computer(s) will still work, but they will be more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.  Microsoft will no longer provide the following for versions of Windows 10 that reach end of support on that date:

• Technical support
• Feature updates or new features
• Quality updates (including security and reliability fixes)

How can I prepare for the end of support?

• Consider upgrading to Windows 11.
• Extended Security Updates (ESU) are available at no additional cost for Windows 10 virtual machines running in Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop. Additionally, Windows 10 endpoints connecting to Windows 365 Cloud PCs will be entitled to the ESU for up to three years, with an active Windows 365 subscription license.

We will continue to share updates as we learn more.  In the interim, please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.
