Hot Take Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11

[Parkinsond]

In a surprising move, Microsoft has quietly confirmed that it’s extending Windows 10 support until October 12, 2027, which is one full year beyond the October 2026 cutoff that home users had been planning around.

First spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft now says it has extended both the enrollment deadline and coverage period, meaning Windows 10 users who have not yet signed up still have time to get covered, and those already enrolled do not need to do anything.

Wow! This is good news indeed.
Windows 10 lives on.

I'll be honest as I'm a fan of W10, 11 not so much.

Faster and less resouce hungry than W 11.

Yes so true. I tried optimizing W11 but I can't get it to the same level as W10. I can run W10 as low as 1GB of RAM on any of my machines be it low or high specs.

The Fear of Linux made them do it !

I had a feeling they may do something like this, still too many machines running W10.

Especially of those don't want to upgrade a perfectly good laptop or desktop PC, in order to run Windows 11.

Yap W10 market share is still big. Even XP is still alive on corporate environments.
