More than real news, let's say it's a reminder shot.
Presented to the international press on September 30, 2014 and officially available since July 29, 2015, Windows 10 is a major operating system for Microsoft. Not only has it restored the American firm's reputation after the far more questionable Windows 8 and 8.1, but it has above all succeeded in convincing the majority of Windows users, who are now struggling to switch to its successor, Windows 11. Just think: today, Windows 10 is still present on more than 70% of clients, compared with just under 25% for Windows 11, launched more than two years ago.
However, all good things must come to an end, and Microsoft has not changed its mind: in just under two years' time, official support for Windows 10 will come to an end. As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft teams will no longer be working on new updates. The Redmond-based company has already been announcing this for some time, and these two years ahead of us will be an opportunity to think about a change of operating system, either to Windows 11, its announced successor (Windows 12?) or to move on to a new product.
After this date, any remaining or discovered security flaws will not be patched by Microsoft. Even if Windows 10 usage should logically drop very rapidly from October 2025 onwards, the operating system will then be more than vulnerable to various threats.
