Today, October 14, 2025, Windows 10 has reached end of support. The October 2025 security update is the final update available for the last supported versions: Windows 10, version 22H2 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions), Windows 10 2015 LTSB, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2015.
Devices running these versions will no longer receive monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats.
The Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program allows organizations to receive critical and important security updates for PCs enrolled in the paid subscription service.
Additionally, customers can enroll their personal Windows 10 PCs in the Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program to receive critical and important monthly security updates.
