Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025, a move that will likely push users to upgrade to newer hardware. This decision comes as Microsoft continues to integrate AI features into its Office applications, creating a potential disconnect for users who remain on older operating systems.
While microsoft has extended free support for Windows 10 by an additional year, this comes with caveats. The company’s push for Windows 11 compatibility, which requires newer hardware, is seen by some as a strategy to encourage new equipment purchases. This is notably relevant in regions like Spain, where Windows 11 adoption has been slower than the global average.
