If evidence for Windows 11 hasn’t been apparent enough this week, Microsoft has officially listed an end of life date for Windows 10 Home and Pro. A Microsoft documentation officially states that support will end on October 14th, 2025.

Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer, while many times used interchangeably, is not the same program and, in fact, serve very different functions. One serves as a way to access the Internet while the other’s function is to search for computer files.

Microsoft is dropping support for IE on many versions of Windows 10 on June 15, 2022. Microsoft is taking another big step toward getting rid of Internet Explorer next year, but not every Windows variant still will be IE-free by 2022. IE will be removed from many, but not all, versions of Windows 10 on June 15, 2022.

Microsoft has said that the Windows 11 will come to computers in fall. A wider release is possible in early 2022. Currently, Microsoft’s next operating system update is available as an early build for Windows Insiders.

When is Windows 11 available? The software will roll out starting in late 2021, according to Microsoft, and will continue throughout 2022. It’s free to upgrade.

What Will Happen When Windows 10 Support Ends? Once extended support ends (or support ends for a particular version of Windows 10), that version of Windows is effectively dead. Microsoft won’t offer any updates—even for security issues—except in rare circumstances.
