Microsoft 2025 End of Support List: Key Dates & Products
Microsoft Products Facing Support Deadlines in 2025
The Microsoft 2025 end of support list spans operating systems, productivity suites, development tools, Azure services, and enterprise applications. Products reaching end of life will no longer receive security updates or official assistance, creating potential operational and compliance risks.
For enterprise IT teams, the timeline is critical. Several products under both the Modern Lifecycle Policy and the Fixed Lifecycle Policy are scheduled to retire this year. The largest wave will occur on October 14, 2025, when multiple core Windows, Office, and server products end support.
Products Under the Modern Lifecycle Policy
The Modern Lifecycle Policy requires customers to stay current, maintain a valid license, and continue receiving active support from Microsoft. Once retired, these products will not receive further updates.
