Microsoft has officially announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. While this date might still feel a little ways off, the implications are significant, especially for companies and institutions which still rely heavily on this operating system.
The question is: What happens next?
On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for several widely used software products, including Windows 10, Office 2016, and Office 2019. For businesses relying on these solutions, this milestone raises critical questions about security, compliance, and operational continuity. With less than two years left, companies must assess their IT infrastructure and determine the best course of action to avoid disruptions.

When looking for an SQL Server to deploy in their IT infrastructure, organizations often jump to the latest version on offer by Microsoft – currently this is SQL Server 2022 which allures new customers with a prospect of deeper collaboration with Microsoft Azure services. However, it also brings important (and potentially quite costly) changes in its licensing terms and conditions, which should be carefully evaluated by customers who wish to avoid unnecessary spending, especially if it’s for features they do not need or use.
Microsoft’s SQL Server 2014 will reach the end of its extended support on July 9th this year – only a couple of months away. If your organization is still using it, it’s high time to think about how this will affect your IT infrastructure. While an upgrade is not strictly necessary, as the software will continue functioning even past the support end date, it will no longer receive patches and security updates, and would eventually become obsolete and incompatible with modern software and hardware requirements.
