Wasn’t Windows 10 supposed to be the last version of Windows that Microsoft was going to make? I guess not based on the fact that Microsoft has updated product lifecycle documentation to state that Windows 10 Home and Pro will be retired on 14 October 2025.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that this is likely connected to an announcement about the next version of Windows that is coming later this month. I guess the “Windows as a service” play that Microsoft had been telling us for years isn’t working for them. Which is another way of saying that they weren’t making enough money. So they’re changing course. But that’s all speculation. We’ll see what the deal is later this month.
