What’s that I hear on the jukebox? “All Good Things (Come to an End)” by Nelly Furtado? How apt. For that saying is as true for a balmy summer as it is for operating system support. Windows 10 has aged well, but the carriage clock is ticking. Windows 10, 22H2 version, will go into retirement on 14 October 2025. That might be around two years away, but it’s somewhat startling as to how quickly that time will pass.
But, you ask, what am I to do? The answer to that depends almost entirely on where you are now.
Of course, you’re on the current build of Windows 10 aren’t you? You keep it up to date, patch all third-party code including browsers, and have appropriate disaster recovery and archive solutions in place? If not, don’t even finish that pint: head back to base and tick those boxes.
