Windows 10 is now 10 years old.

Microsoft first released Windows 10 exactly 10 years ago today. It introduced the idea of “Windows as a service,” a model that delivers regular updates to Windows instead of a major release every few years. While one Microsoft employee called Windows 1o “the last version of Windows,” Microsoft went on to release Windows 11 and keep that Windows as a service model alive today. Windows 10 is a hugely popular OS 10 years on, and Microsoft is still trying to get people to move to Windows 11 ahead of Windows 10’s end of support in October.
