No. Support for Windows 10 ended on October 14, 2025.

After that date, Windows 10 no longer receives:

  • free security updates
  • feature updates
  • technical support

Windows 10 PCs can still be used after that date, but Microsoft recommends moving to Windows 11.

If continued security coverage is needed after end of support, Windows 10 PCs can be enrolled in the paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which provides Critical and Important security updates after support ends.

    Support for Windows 10 officially ended in October last year, after that date there are no further feature updates, or technical support for Windows 10 provided.

    You can sign up to the ESU (Extended Security Updates) in the updates section in the Settings app, then, you would continue to receive security updates up to October 2027, after that date, you would no longer receive security updates.
