Microsoft Will Let You Keep Using Office 365 on Windows 10, but Don't Expect Much
1 min read
Summary
Microsoft has issued a U-turn over its decision to end support for Microsoft 365 Apps on the soon-to-be-defunct Windows 10 OS, instead announcing a three-year extension.
This will give users until October 10, 2028 to decide whether to migrate to Windows 11 or change their operating system altogether.
However, the new package will only include security updates, not new features, and will only offer minimal support for bug reports or product updates, meaning that compensation for system failures is unlikely.
The move appears to be designed to soften the blow of 1000s of enterprises who are yet to transition to Windows 11, perhaps due to hardware incompatibility or other issues.
The new end-of-support deadline also aligns with the expected launch of Windows 12, thereby allowing users some time to choose a platform in line for full support and future developments.
