After Microsoft could not meet the expectations with the Windows 8 operating system, the Windows 8.1 version, which was developed and released in just a year, is coming to the end of the road. The operating system has left 10 years behind. According to the statement, technical support of the Windows 8.1 operating system will end as of January 10, 2023. After this date, it will not receive any security updates or security patches. Also, no extended technical support will be offered. In short, users will be left alone with their fate after a period of 50 days.

Windows 8.1, which has a share of around 2.45 percent among Windows versions, is mostly used on the corporate side. In this regard, upgrading becomes a little more critical due to security updates.
