Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. There have been concerns and rumours suggesting that computers operating on Windows 10 will cease to function after this date; however, this is not accurate.

After support ends, unless addressed by ITSS, Windows 10 devices will no longer receive bug fixes, security updates, or technical assistance from Microsoft. A plan is in place to address these changes.

What You Need to Know:

• No Immediate Action Required: Windows 10 will remain supported with monthly security updates through October 2025. Your device continues to be secure and maintained.

• Extended Security Updates (ESU): For devices that cannot be upgraded by the deadline, Microsoft Extended Security Updates have been secured and will be automatically deployed to the impacted systems.

What You Can Do:

Again, there is no action on your part at this time; however, if you have concerns, please reach out to ITSS at go.upei.ca/itrequest  

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we prepare for this change.
