Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 2025, but Bitdefender will continue to provide security updates until October 2026.
Microsoft has already ended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, leaving millions of users vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and online scams.
When a company drops support, millions of users are left running operating systems that no longer receive Microsoft security updates.
The operating system doesn’t suddenly stop working, and users may not notice any changes at first.
However, Bitdefender will continue to protect devices beyond Microsoft’s deadlines, ensuring user safety until 2026.
