Microsoft is set to Shelve on 14 October 2025, when he reaches the end of his support date. The company announced in January that it would shut down the Microsoft 365 apps for the Legacy operating system.
This meant that users who have been subscribed to Microsoft 365 would not be able to access Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Teams, Onnot etc. on Windows 10. Following the feedback from users, Microsoft has reconsidered its plans to retire apps for Windows 10.
A Assistant document He was seen by Nevin Indicates that “Microsoft 365 apps running on Windows 10 will continue to receive security updates for three years after Windows 10 and of Support.”
The support page links to another document that warns users that although the apps will continue to work after reaching the end of the support of Windows 10, it is not appropriate to use them on an incapable operating system. Microsoft states that it can lead to an insult experience that can cause issues of performance and reliability. It is advising users to switch to Windows 11. The decision to expand the security updates for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 has been made to help users stay safe as they switch to Windows 11. Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 will receive security updates by October 10, 2028.
However, this extension could be announced to probably allow enterprise users to continue using apps on their workstations. Microsoft is planning to retire on Office 2016 and Office 2019 in October 2025.
Even as the end of the support date for Windows 10 draws, millions of users will be stuck on it as their computer does not meet the system requirements to upgrade Windows 11. Older computer users should consider migrating into Linux. A project called “end of 10”, supported by KDE, is trying to help Windows 10 users to switch to Linux.
