Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 8.1 in January 2023

Beginning January 10, 2023, Microsoft will stop releasing security updates for Windows 8.1. Users are then urged to upgrade to Windows 11 for a safer experience.


One of my favourite versions of the well-known operating system was Windows 8.1, particularly since it struck the ideal mix between the older, traditional Windows interface and the tiled UI Microsoft was aiming for at the time. After the disaster that was Windows 8, Windows 8.1 offered a steady experience. 

However, Windows 8.1's demise is imminent as Windows 10 and Windows 11 have become considerably more popular, stable, and feature-rich. According to Microsoft, technical support for Windows 8.1 will cease in January 2023, or around 7 months from now. Similarly, support for Windows 8 was discontinued in January 2016.

Users of Windows 8.1 who want to continue using the operating system securely must upgrade to a newer version of Windows after January 10, 2023, as they will no longer receive security updates.

What happens if you continue to use Windows 8.1 after January 2023 is one of the questions addressed in a list of frequently asked questions that Microsoft also made available on its website.
