Windows 10's days are numbered. The operating system will reach end of support on October 14 th of this year, giving users less than 10 months to upgrade their systems, buy new PCs, committing to use unsupported devices,

Color us a little surprised that Windows 10, the operating system that Microsoft would like to see hundreds of millions users abandon, is still getting new features.

Microsoft has announced that the final day it will offer security support for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on Windows 10 will be Oct. 14.

While Windows 10's end-of-support, which coincidentally will also revoke support for Microsoft 365 apps on older systems, will push users to Windows 11, it will do so begrudgingly. In its present state, at least regarding its image, Windows 11 will be an operating system most people tolerate but never fully embrace.

As the push toward Windows 11 continues, Microsoft confirms that Windows 10 users will lose support for apps including Word, Excel, and Outlook.

If you're missing some of those features in Windows that Microsoft dropped, you might be able to find a replacement.
