- Windows 10 loses support, but M365 apps on Windows 10 Don’t … Not yet …
- Support is limited and users can experience performance problems
- Windows 11 -Adoption will soon surpass Windows 10
Although Windows 10 will lose support on October 14, 2025, Microsoft has confirmed that it will offer security updates for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 for another three years.
Although the company will continue to support its productivity apps, it warns users of potential performance and reliability problems if they are on using the outgoing operating system, so that they are encouraged to upgrade instead.
Moreover, no bug reports or function requests are accepted for problems that are exclusive to Windows 10, so that the downfall of the operating system is marked.
“To keep the security while you switch to Windows 11Microsoft will continue to offer security updates for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 for three years after Windows 10 reaches the end of the support, “Microsoft shared.
Only customers will be a valid M365 subscription to open new cases, but three limitations will be present as soon as Microsoft draws the plug on Windows 10 in October.
First, if the problem is exclusive to Windows 10, users are asked to upgrade to Windows 11. Secondly, if the customer is unable to upgrade to Windows 11, perhaps due to hardware limitations, the technical assistance team may only offer problem solution and workarounds. Finally, there is no option to log a bug or other function requests.
Industrial Analists from Canalys have already shown that 2025 could be the year in which remaining users upgrade their devices for support for Windows 11 and Future operating systemsHowever, rates caused by trade war can turn that idea on his head. “The following quarters will probably see a delay this year, because the stock levels normalize and customers will have to deal with higher prices,” said chief analyst Ishan Dutt.
Despite a growth of 9% on an annual basis in PC shipments worldwide during the first three months of 2025, Canalys predicts only a 2% increase for 2025 as a whole for the American market.
Although it took many months for Windows 11 to pick up widespread popularity, the OS is now good for 43.7% of all Windows installations (via Statist). Windows 10 still leads, with a market share of 52.9%.
