Microsoft Windows 10 Support Ends: 
No More Updates, Windows 11 Upgrade

Microsoft has officially announced that it will no longer provide support for Windows 10 operating system, and users will no longer receive security or feature updates. Instead, Microsoft is releasing a new operating system, Windows 11, which will be an upgrade from Windows 10, providing users with new features and improvements.

One of the main reasons for the end of support for Windows 10 is due to the fact that it was initially released in 2015, and Microsoft is now focusing on releasing a new operating system for the next decade. With the end of support for Windows 10, users will no longer receive updates or patches, which can put their systems at risk of cyber-attacks.

The new Windows 11 operating system will provide users with a range of new features and improvements, including a new start menu, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and improved gaming features. Windows 11 will also provide a more seamless experience across multiple devices, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

In order to upgrade to Windows 11, users will need to ensure that their devices meet the minimum hardware requirements, including a 64-bit processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a DirectX 12 compatible graphics card. Users will also need to have a valid Windows 10 license in order to upgrade to Windows 11.

Millions of users are faced with a financial burden as Microsoft declares the end of Windows 10, the world's most popular operating system.

Through an updated product roadmap, Microsoft revealed that the final feature update of Windows 10, 22H2, was released in October 2022, with all support, including security updates, for Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education ending for mainstream users on October 14, 2025.

To mitigate the impact, Microsoft encourages users to transition to Windows 11. However, this shift proves problematic as Windows 11 requires higher hardware requirements, excluding many older PCs and laptops.

The most contentious requirement is the support for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0, introduced in mid-2016.
