On this day, Windows 10 celebrates a decade of existence, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of operating systems. Launched ten years ago, it pioneered the concept of “Windows as a service,” a transformative approach that shifted the paradigm from infrequent major updates to a steady stream of enhancements and improvements.
While some within Microsoft have referred to Windows 10 as “the last version of Windows,” the company has since introduced Windows 11, continuing to embrace the service model that has become a hallmark of their software strategy. This ongoing evolution underscores Microsoft’s commitment to adapting to user needs and technological advancements.
Despite the arrival of its successor, Windows 10 remains a widely embraced operating system, demonstrating its robust appeal even a decade later. As Microsoft gears up for the impending end of support for Windows 10 in October, the company is actively encouraging users to transition to Windows 11, ensuring they benefit from the latest features and security updates.
- Key Features of Windows 10:
- Introduction of the Start Menu, combining the traditional layout with live tiles.

As the tech landscape continues to evolve, the legacy of Windows 10 will undoubtedly influence future developments, while Microsoft remains focused on guiding its users toward a more modern computing experience with Windows 11.
