Microsoft made a statement that concerns millions of Windows users. The company, which has been trying to switch users to Windows 11 for a long time, started to slowly cut its support for Windows 10. Finally, from this Windows 10 to 21H2 version devices are affected.
End of the road for Windows 10 21H2
Microsoft has ended support for Windows 10 version 21H2. It urged users with this version to take action. He said that the last update for the 21H2 version was in June and will not receive any more feature/security updates.
In its blog post, Microsoft said, “On June 13, 2023, the end of 21H2 service, which covers Windows 10 Home, Pro, Pro Education and Pro for Workstations editions, has been reached. “The June 2023 security update will be the last package available for this release.”
Google is cutting support for Windows 8 and 8.1!
Google Drive is ending support for Windows 8 and 8.1. Google will also not offer the Drive app for 32-bit operating systems.
Note that if you have a computer with version 21H2, you will not receive support after June. This means you won’t get new features and you may experience security vulnerabilities. Although Microsoft says it will offer automatic upgrades to some workstations, you have to manually update your computer.
After the update, you can switch to either Windows 11 or Windows 10 22H2. We think support for 22H2 will continue for a while and will be removed from next year.
Similar decisions have been made for Windows 8 and 8.1 for a while. Finally, Google’s cloud storage service Drive’s Windows 8 and 8.1 announced that it will retire the app.
