The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has published a guide to prepare users for the end of Windows 10 support, which will occur on October 14, 2025. After this date, systems running Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support from Microsoft, making them more susceptible to zero-day attacks, malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks.
Governments are starting to issue warnings about the upcoming massive change, and the Indian Government has also recommended upgrading to Windows 11 to keep systems secure. The guide published by CERT-In reminds users that systems running Windows 10 will become increasingly vulnerable to attacks after the end-of-support date. Windows 10 users are advised to upgrade to Windows 11 to continue receiving critical security updates.
Other governments around the world begin to issue warnings
For businesses and individual users who need more time to plan the upgrade, CERT-In reminds them of the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which allows consumers and organizations to enroll in a paid program to receive critical patches. However, it is essential to note that the ESU program does not extend the official product lifecycle nor offers full technical support beyond its lifecycle.
Microsoft has also extended support for applications like Teams, Word, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive, and more, for an additional three years. Meanwhile, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will likely publish its own official guidelines soon, similar to what it did for Windows 7 and others. Others, like the EU, will follow suit.
