Last year, Microsoft announced that it would end support for Windows 10 from October 2025. Now, the Redmond giant is preparing to send a notification to Windows 8.1 users, informing them that it will end support for the platform in January 2023. Here are the details!

Microsoft recently shared a support note on its official website, announcing that it will stop supporting Windows 8.1 from January 10, 2023. Following the date, Windows 8.1 will stop receiving security updates from Microsoft.

So, if you are a Windows 8.1 user, you could start looking for Windows 11 or Windows 11 SE-powered devices before Microsoft stops supporting your OS next year. You can also consider switching to Chromebooks as Google is continually improving Chrome OS to make it on par with Windows eventually.
