Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 2025, but Bitdefender will continue to provide security until October 2026.
Microsoft has already ended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, leaving millions of users vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and online scams.
When a company drops support, millions of users are left running operating systems that no longer receive Microsoft security updates.
The operating system doesn’t suddenly stop working, but users may eventually notice notifications that it’s no longer supported.
Bitdefender will keep devices safe beyond Microsoft’s deadlines.
Author summary: Microsoft ends Windows 10 support, Bitdefender extends security.
