Microsoft announces Windows 10 version 22H2 as final version of the operating system

Microsoft has announced that the latest version of its operating system, Windows 10 version 22H2, will be the final version. This means that there will be no more major updates or new features added to Windows 10. However, all editions of Windows 10 will continue to receive monthly security updates until October 14th, 2025, when Microsoft will end support.

In light of this announcement, Microsoft is encouraging users to transition to Windows 11, which was released in October 2021. Windows 11 offers a range of new features, including a redesigned Start menu, enhanced performance, and improved security features. Microsoft has also stated that Windows 11 will be the primary focus of its development efforts moving forward.

For users who choose to remain on Windows 10, Microsoft has assured that the operating system will continue to function as normal and receive security updates. However, without any new features or major updates, it may become outdated over time.

Microsoft's decision to end development of Windows 10 comes as no surprise, as the company has been promoting Windows 11 heavily since its release. With the end of support for Windows 10 now set for 2025, users have plenty of time to make the transition to the newer operating system.
