If you’re still using Microsoft 365 (formerly Office) on Windows 10, an important change is on the horizon.


Microsoft has officially announced that starting August 2026, they will no longer release new features or improvements for Office apps on Windows 10. While security updates will continue for a bit longer, feature updates—like layout changes, productivity tools, or AI enhancements—will only be available to Windows 11 users.


💡 What Does This Mean in Simple Terms?


  • ✅ You can still use Office apps on Windows 10 (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) — nothing will suddenly break.

  • ❌ But no new features will be added. This includes new tools, templates, speed improvements, and AI-powered upgrades.

  • 🔐 Microsoft will continue to provide security patches, but even those may stop after Windows 10's official end-of-life in October 2025.


  • 📉 Over time, your experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions running on Windows 11.


⏳ Why Is This Happening?


Microsoft is shifting its focus to Windows 11 and future platforms, where they are investing in new tech like Copilot AI, enhanced productivity tools, and deeper cloud integration. Windows 10, while still popular, is approaching the end of its support lifecycle.
