In a recent update that brings relief to many users, Microsoft has officially announced it will continue to support Microsoft Office on Windows 10 until October 2028. This means that Office apps will keep receiving updates through the usual channels, even after Windows 10 reaches its official end-of-support date on October 14, 2025.
This change is especially relevant for users and businesses who have not yet upgraded to Windows 11, as it offers more time to transition while still receiving security and feature updates for Office applications.
However, Microsoft still encourages organizations to move to Windows 11. According to the company, continuing to use Office on Windows 10 might lead to “performance and reliability issues over time.” This recommendation underscores Microsoft's broader strategy of pushing for adoption of its latest operating system, which includes enhanced security features and improved performance.
The announcement was originally reported by The Verge, highlighting the company’s evolving approach to customer support and long-term software planning.
For users and IT departments, this extension provides a welcome buffer—but planning for an upgrade remains a smart move.
