As has long been known, Microsoft will cease support for entirely Windows 10 at the end of 2025.
Despite this, apparently, the developers still have no intention of abandoning the operating system. According to the site Windows Centralin fact, the company is working on a new and interesting update, which will bring the advanced weather functions Of Windows 11 on the previous version of the OS.
The upgrade, available in the coming months, should provide a leap in quality regarding forecasts, with more dynamic and interactive weather. In fact, for Windows 10 users it will be enough to ignore the weather in the lock screento obtain a lot of information regarding the climatic evolution of the following days.
Although we are not talking about something revolutionary, all this shows that Microsoft has not yet abandoned the previous operating system. The reason for this is easy to understand given the numbers. It is estimated that over 65% of PCs in the world use Windows 10 and, from this point of view, the abandonment of support at the end of 2025 seems like a real problem for a large segment of users.
