Yesterday, Microsoft dropped some big news about its flagship operating system. Like the Scarlet Witch of Marvel Comics, they basically said, “No more Windows 10.” That’s right, Microsoft will no longer support it starting October 14th, 2015.

The good news is that we will continue to get security patches and basic updates until October 2025. The bad news is that many machines out there…Microsoft says they’re sunsetting Windows 10 in 2025
