Windows 10 is officially riding off into the sunset on October 14, 2025, which means no more security updates, patches, or support from Microsoft after that date. Launched in 2015 as the “last version of Windows,” it’s had a solid decade run with major updates like the Anniversary Update (1607), Creators Update (1703), and the big 21H2 and 22H2 releases that kept it alive while Windows 11 took the spotlight. If you grew up firing up XP or 7, this is another one of those “wow, time flies” moments—because now the OS that felt like the modern default is about to become another relic. If you’re still on Windows 10, you’ve got until 2025 to either upgrade or ride the nostalgia wave offline.
