Progress or Planned Obsolescence? Microsoft to End Office Support on Win 10


Microsoft will end support for Office apps on Windows 10 by October 14, 2025. Discover how this impacts users, the push towards Windows 11, potential shifts to Google alternatives, and the broader conversation about tech upgrades and e-waste.

While Windows 10’s end-of-support may not directly create e-waste, the ripple effect of users upgrading hardware unnecessarily can add to the growing pile of discarded gadgets. But one thing’s for sure: come October 2025, a lot of people are going to find themselves stuck between an outdated OS and the upgrade they didn’t ask for—or switching tabs to Google Suite.
