Frequently Asked Questions (Windows 10 & Office End of Support)

When does Microsoft end support for Windows 10 and Office 2016/2019?

Support ends on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer release security updates for these products.

What does “end of support” mean for me?

It means your computer and data will become more vulnerable because Microsoft will not provide patches for newly discovered security issues.

What should I do if I’m using Windows 10?

If your device is compatible, you can upgrade to Windows 11 for free through the built-in Windows Update tool. If your device is not eligible for Windows 11, it will need to be replaced.

What should I do if I’m using Office 2016 or Office 2019?

You should upgrade to a supported version:
● Office 2024 (security updates available during its lifecycle)
● Microsoft 365 subscription (always kept up to date as long as you’re subscribed)

Why is upgrading important?

Software patching is a key part of protecting your devices and data. Without updates, your system becomes more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Where can I find more information about Microsoft product lifecycles?
