When Windows 10 reaches the end of support, Microsoft will no longer provide bug fixes for issues, security fixes for vulnerabilities, time zone updates, or technical support for problems that might occur. Our session reviewed the options available including Windows 11, Windows 365, or a Windows 10 ESU.

Let's talk about the key points
- Windows 10 EOS (End of Support) is October 14th, 2025.
- Consider Windows 11 for eligible PC's using Windows Autopatch or Microsoft Intune and leverage the FastTrack App Assure Program
- Migrate to the cloud and subscribe to Windows 365
What is Windows 365
Windows 365 is a cloud-based service that automatically creates a new type of Windows virtual machine (Cloud PCs) for your end users. Each Cloud PC is assigned to an individual user and is their dedicated Windows device. Windows 365 provides the productivity, security, and collaboration benefits of Microsoft 365.
Extended Security Update program for Windows 10
While we strongly recommend moving to Windows 11, we understand there are circumstances that could prevent you from replacing Windows 10 devices before the EOS date. Therefore, Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates.
For Windows 365 customers, ESUs will be provided for the Windows 10 devices that connect to a Cloud PC running Windows 11 at no additional cost.
