Windows 10 Support Ends as Microsoft Recasts Windows 11 as an AI‑Native OS

Microsoft couples on‑device AI with a Windows 365 discount to quicken enterprise migration.

Overview

  • Standard support for Windows 10 has concluded, with security updates now limited to customers on paid Extended Security Updates plans.
  • Microsoft is foregrounding new Copilot tools in Windows 11, including Voice, Vision, Actions for local file operations, and Click To Do.
  • Executives describe a path toward agentic automation in which AI executes multi‑step, cross‑application tasks autonomously, a capability still under development.
  • Copilot+/AI+ PCs are positioned to run more AI workloads locally for faster responses and improved data control.
  • New Windows 365 customers are being offered 20% off to lower the barrier for organizations moving to Microsoft’s AI‑centric desktop environment.
