As we approach the end of extended support for some of Microsoft's most popular products, it's crucial to understand what this means for your organization and why upgrading to Windows 11 is a smart move.
End of Extended Support for Windows 10, Office 2016, and Office 2019
Microsoft has announced that extended support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025. This means that after this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for Windows 10. Similarly, Office 2016 and Office 2019 will also reach the end of their extended support on the same date. Continuing to use these products beyond their support period can leave your organization vulnerable to security threats, productivity losses, and compliance issues.
