If you have an NVIDIA graphics card on Windows 10, you will stop receiving updates on this date
The future of Windows 10 is known. Starting in October of this year, it will no longer receive any updates from Microsoft, at least not for free.
For this very reason, hundreds of millions of users will be forced, sooner or later, to upgrade to Windows 11. This is all despite the general rejection of this latest version of Microsoft's operating system. However, we must bear in mind that working daily with an outdated and weak operating system is never the best option.
Hackers will exploit the lack of updates more than ever to try to compromise our devices and access our personal data. Hence, most people will need to upgrade to Windows 11, whether they like it or not. Furthermore, we must bear in mind that this end-of-life doesn't just affect Windows. We're telling you all this because many of the software solutions we've installed here will also stop receiving support and updates over the months.
In these same lines, we'll discuss a clear example that might interest most of you. Many computers today are equipped with graphics cards from the renowned manufacturer NVIDIA, which operate at full capacity on Windows 10 computers. Well, it's important to keep in mind that we already know when the drivers for this important computer component will stop being updated.
We're telling you all this because NVIDIA itself has just revealed when it will stop supporting Windows 10 PCs.
This is important, especially given the importance of this particular operating system to the gaming industry. With official support ending in October 2025, Windows 10 users may be concerned about the continued support of software companies and hardware manufacturers. Many are wondering how long support for drivers, browsers, and other software will continue.
Given the end of previous versions of Microsoft's operating system, we can confirm that third-party support was extremely chaotic. Some companies stopped providing it immediately after Microsoft did, while others promised to extend it for an additional year or two. Not only that, but some still provide support for older systems.
Well, for anyone with an NVIDIA graphics card who plans to continue using Windows 10, this is important to know. The company has officially announced that it will continue to support this version with Game Ready drivers until October 2026. In fact, this coincides with the end of extended support offered by Microsoft to customers who join the ESU program. This confirmation comes directly from NVIDIA, which detailed the roadmap through an official post on its support portal.
While graphics cards will continue to work after this date, NVIDIA will no longer release Game Ready drivers. It's possible that important security updates will be released, but this has not yet been confirmed.
