Microsoft will end support for Office apps on Windows 10 on October 14th, requiring users to upgrade to Windows 11. The company is pushing for a “Windows 11 PC refresh” in 2025, stating that refreshing an old PC is more important than buying a new TV or phone. Windows 11 adoption is slow due to strict hardware requirements, and Microsoft is urging users to buy new PCs with full-screen prompts. Extended Security Updates will be available for consumers to purchase extra years of support. While Office apps on Windows 10 will still work after support ends, there may be performance and reliability issues over time.
