Windows 10 Gets Another Year of Support to October 2027

 

 A number of you likely remember the grumbling last year when Microsoft officially ended support for WIndows 10. Because of it's suggested hardware, many users were reluctant to update to Windows 11 as peak performance would mean paying money for upgrades, or getting a new computer. Some reluctantly made the upgrade, wondering if it would mean problems. Others hesitated, as Windows 10 was running just fine on their machine.

 

According to an article by Ars Technica, those insisting on staying on Windows 10 can rest a little easier, at least for another year.  As "Windows 11 usage had only barely surpassed Windows 10 when support ended," they went ahead and extended support another year, to October 2026. But as of now, with a quarter of active computers still on Windows 10, apparently the company has quietly extended support a second year, to October 12, 2027.

 

So those with older machines have a little more time.
