Windows 10 continues to top the market share despite Microsoft’s efforts to ship new updates and features to its latest operating system, Windows 11. Not forgetting that Windows 10 is set to hit its end-of-support date on October 14, 2025.
But till then, Microsoft will continue to ship security and feature updates to Windows 10. It’s worth noting that Windows 10 version 21H2 hit its end of servicing in June, so you’ll need to upgrade to Windows 10 version 22H2 to continue receiving support.
