Windows 10 only has 2 more years of support left
So users have 2 more years to upgrade hardware and install Windows 11 before Windows 10 will join Windows 7 in the "graveyard" of Microsoft's Desktop operating system platform. Before this happens, Microsoft will release the final security update for the Home and Pro editions of Windows 10.
According to Statcounter, Windows 10 is installed on 71% of PCs globally, while Windows 11 is installed on about 23% of PCs. Microsoft will have to migrate its one billion users to Windows 11 or 12 in the next 2 years.
The Steam hardware survey also shows that Windows 10 accounts for 57.97%, being the most popular version of Windows users on Steam. Windows 11 with a usage rate of 37.43% is the next most popular version.
So, from October 2025 onwards, what will happen to PCs that continue to run on Windows 10?
The answer is that you can then continue to use this Windows 10 operating system as you can still use Windows 7. Windows is not a subscription-based operating system, so even if Microsoft stops supporting users, it always continues to work. Users will not be forced to switch to Windows 11 or Windows 12. Currently, many users still run Windows 7, 8 and even XP on their computers even though these operating systems have long been discontinued. . Like Windows 7, Windows 10 will also be supported by a number of third-party companies.
