Windows 10 - End of Support

Windows 10 - End of Support

In late 2025 Microsoft will stop updating and supporting Windows 10, with the final date currently being October 14th. 

What does this mean? 
You can still use and enjoy Windows 10 and there will be monthly security updates up until October 14th. 
After this you can still use the software however it will leave you open to security issues and some software will stop testing if their updates work with that version, forcing you to move up to Windows 11 if you encounter bugs and issues before they may look into what's causing your issue.

One software to already mention this is Solidworks and we expect others to follow, if you have any queries or concerns then feel free to speak to one of our support team for further advice on how this might affect your software.
