Despite the different versions and editions of the Microsoft system that we have at our fingertips at the moment, Windows 10 is the most used. However, the software giant is betting on a more current version, something that it tries to convince us of in different ways.
A few months ago the firm made available to us the new Windows 11, version of the operating system for which you are betting heavily. However, migration and market penetration are not being as positive as they would like at first. All this despite the corrections and improvements that this software has received over time. They are trying to correct the most serious errors reported by the users themselves, as well as the complaints that have been published.
With everything and with it the migration from previous versions of the operating system It’s not being as smooth as Microsoft would like. Perhaps for this reason, among others, the company has now taken the step that has just been announced. Actually, we are referring to the possibility of buying an official license of Windows 10, which is still the most used version, and by far. However, we already know the date in which Microsoft will officially stop selling Windows 10 licenses, in just a few days.
This means that if we want to buy an official license for this version of the system, we will have to hurry. We tell you all this because at the end of this month of January 2023, Microsoft will end the sale of the Windows 10 licenses. This means that all those who access the official website of the firm to buy this software will no longer be able to do so.
Microsoft stops selling Windows 10 licenses
This is something that will be extended to the different editions of the operating system. Basically we can now confirm that the next January 31, 2023 it will be the last day that this version of Windows is released. Of course, we must keep in mind that it will also continue to be compatible with the security updates that Microsoft sends from that date.
This is something that will continue to be so until the next October 14, 2025, for which there is still time. It’s not hard to imagine that the main meaning of this move is that Microsoft will only sell Windows 11 licenses in its website. At the same time, we must bear in mind that this does not mean that Windows 10 licenses can no longer be purchased on other sites. We still have the possibility to use third-party distributors, both online and in physical stores, to buy these licenses officially and legally.
Without a doubt and due to all this that we have told you, it seems that Microsoft is doing everything possible for us to migrate to Windows 11 as soon as possible. It should be noted that at this time the new version of the operating system is the firm’s big bet and it wants as many users as possible to start using it.
