According to a notice on the Windows 10 Home, Pro and Workstation pages on Microsoft’s official website, Microsoft will stop digital downloads of Windows 10 on January 31, 2023, which means it will no longer sell digital licenses for Windows 10.
"January 31, 2023 will be the last day of sales for Windows 10 digital downloads. Windows 10 will continue to support security updates through October 14, 2025 to help protect your computer from viruses, spyware, and other malware."
Microsoft has now devoted most of its Windows development efforts to Windows 11 and subsequent Windows releases, with Windows 10 currently getting only minor patch updates and nothing significant in the 22H2 major release update.
Last May, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 was ready for widespread deployment. At the same time, Microsoft has been persuading Windows 10 21H1 users to upgrade to Windows 11 for the version that is coming out of service, and there is even a Windows 11 recommendation option in the Windows Out-of-the-Box Experience (OOBE) screen for Windows 10 22H2.
