Microsoft is ending Microsoft 365 support on Windows 10.

The tech giant is continuing to urge users to upgrade to Windows 11, and now it’s been revealed its apps – including Word, Excel and PowerPoint – will stop receiving important updates later this year.

On a support page, the company confirmed: “Microsoft 365 apps will no longer be supported on Windows 10 after it reaches end of support on October 14, 2025.

“Microsoft 365 apps are no longer supported on Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 now that these operating systems have reached their end of support dates.

“To avoid performance and reliability issues, we recommend that you move to Windows 11.”

Microsoft noted while applications will “continue to function as before” on Windows 10 after this date, it’s “strongly recommended” to upgrade to “avoid performance and reliability issues”.

They added: “You may continue to use Windows 10 after support ends; however, it will no longer receive quality updates, new or updated features, security updates, or technical support.

“We recommend that customers upgrade or transition to a new Windows 11 PC for the best, most secure computing experience.”
