Photo: The Verge Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. That marks more than 10 years since the operating system was first introduced. This is the first time Microsoft has officially confirmed the end of support for Windows 10. Microsoft keeps giving hints about Windows 11 Microsoft has made many hints that it is ready to launch Windows 11. The software giant is holding a special Windows event to reveal the “next generation” of this operating system next week. The event started at 11 a.m. ET or around 10 p.m. the same day in Vietnam. Microsoft executives have also been making announcements about the “next generation of Windows” for months, and one CEO even described it as a “new version of Windows” recently. Microsoft also introduced Windows 11 in an 11-minute video last week. Many users expect Microsoft to announce a new version of Windows with significant user interface changes and an overhaul to the Windows Store. Microsoft has been working on a new code called “Sun Valley”, perhaps this is a new version of the operating system that the company has called “a complete visual rejuvenation of Windows”. Microsoft originally scheduled the end of support for Windows 10 to be October 13, 2020. However, Microsoft said this is the period when the company does not add new features to the operating system and only maintains support with those. bug fixes and security patches. Windows 10 is an unusual version of the operating system for Microsoft because it has fallen outside the cycle of releasing new operating system versions every few years like other companies. Instead, Microsoft has been updating Windows 10 continuously twice a year with new features. Microsoft used to call Windows 10 the “final version of Windows,” but it’s been almost six years since its release and Microsoft seems ready to move on to something new.

Windows 10 Sun Valley will be a valuable update for users. At the moment there is still no certainty about what Microsoft will announce during the event, but based on what has been posted before, the event will certainly not talk about the dual-screen Windows 10X operating system. Because the company has decided to kill this operating system and start porting its important features to Windows 10. It is likely that the presentation will focus strongly on Sun Valley – a name that has appeared many times in recent times. Reports suggest that Sun Valley will bring a more modern look and feel, with rounded corners to elements like the Start menu and especially the end of Windows 95 era icons. Additionally, the company says could offer an revamp of the Windows Store to allow developers to use a third-party payment system – something like hitting Apple’s App Store. The new icon system will say goodbye to the old icons from the Windows 95 era. In addition, the event is expected to also feature a number of company leaders, including CEO Satya Nadella and Product Manager Panos Panay – who used to be the face of Microsoft’s Surface devices. company. At the Build event last month, Nadella confirmed that the upcoming changes to Windows 10 are “one of the most important Windows updates of the past decade”. Because the COVID-19 pandemic situation has not been completely controlled, the event will only be held by Microsoft in an online state instead of in person.
