Windows 10

Although manually searching for and downloading apps has remained the most popular method of installing apps on Windows systems for years, these aren’t the only options available. The Store has been around for a long time, but for years it didn’t support traditional apps and tools. However, there is another tool that makes managing apps much easier.

In Windows 10 (and newer versions), Windows 11, and Windows Server, there is a built-in tool called WinGet (Windows Package Manager).

In 2025, just before the official end of technical support for Windows 10, Microsoft launched a program to extend security updates for consumers until October 13, 2026. That date is no longer valid.

According to the latest information, support for ESU has been extended to October 12, 2027.

The Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10 is designed to provide customers with a more secure option for continuing to use Windows 10 computers after October 14, 2025.

Windows 10 was released on July 29, 2015. Ten years have passed since then. As a result, the operating system should no longer receive technical support. Will that happen?

According to Microsoft’s previous announcements, technical support is scheduled to end on October 14, 2025.

Initially, it was announced that companies would be able to purchase additional technical support. However, this option did not apply to home users.

To everyone’s surprise, it was soon announced that regular consumers would also be eligible for extended support.
