As of today, January 10, 2023, Microsoft is terminating support for Windows 8.1. This means that the operating system will no longer receive security updates and technical support.
Microsoft’s Windows 8.1 operating system (OS) has finally reached its end-of-support date after almost a decade.
As of today, January 10, 2023, the Redmond tech giant will no longer provide the OS with software updates, technical support, or security patches. You won’t immediately notice anything different if you keep using the OS past this date. However, because the OS no longer receives security updates, your system will become more vulnerable to viruses, ransomware, and other security threats.
Also, if your PC encounters any issues, it will be difficult to get support without paying a premium.
